I received Essure in 2012, after my Doctor suggested that it would be the best solution for me in the way of permanent birth control. I of course had hang-ups about leaving a foreign object in my body forever but, after a very lengthy conversation, my ‘trusted’ doctor assured me that it was completely safe. I have just recently learned that all of the issues I have been having for the past 5 1/2 years, leads directly back to Essure. None of my issues started until after the Essure was implanted. I have been to multiple doctors and had multiple tests, with no diagnosis to explain my symptoms; with the exception of a few doctors suggesting that ‘getting older’ is the reason for many of them (I’m now 37 years old). My symptoms include: migraines, brain fog, bloating, weight fluctuation, painful intercourse, bleeding during and after intercourse, heavy menstrual flow, very painful mestrual cramping, hair loss, fatigue, and depression. If I would’ve been advised, before, what I could’ve been facing down the road… I would’ve never chosen Essure. I feel betrayed.
