I had the essure procedure done in Apri 2012 along with a minimal bladder sling. I continually had vaginal bleeding for 6 months after the procedure. I sometimes would have the bleeding stop for about a week per month in that time period. I was so depressed, & frustrated!!! I would call my doctor each month & he would tell me it was hormones. I was not convinced. I was fine before the procedure. Another Gyn put me on the pill for 6 months & it finally stopped. I believe this procedure was the cause of this now that I am reading all the complaints. I alway had very regular menstrual cycles before & have never had issues with excessive bleeding. I would love more information on woman that have experienced the same problems after the surgery. I am very interested in helping others that may have their ob gyn talk them into having this procedure the way I was.
Sincerely,
Gina Jennings
