My name is Diana. I am 37 years old and have 3 children. My Dr. suggested Essure when my Paraguard was causing me pain. 5 months ago I had the Essure procedure and the immediate side effects are alarming. I am 5ft 1.75in and before my procedure weighed 118. Last week I weighed in at 148 after only 5 months on Essure. Other side effects are constant extreme fatigue, and very painful menstrual cycles. At first the Dr. thought it was my thyroid, but when my tests came out normal, I decided to look up the side effects of the Essure. The side effects online are spot on with what I’m experiencing. The side effects on the brochure did not list these problems and the Dr. at Kaiser never mentioned them either. I would have gotten my tubes tied the traditional way if I would have known how my quality of life would deteriorate. I feel like passing out all the time and the pain I am currently experiencing is horrible.
