I am 28 yrs old and have 2 kids. I knew I was done having kids and decided to get Essure in 2011.
I was told it was a simple procedure that takes just a few minutes, not at all the case I have a tilted uterus dr had issues getting it in to place causing tremendous pain.It took several minutes to out them in place, after I was done I felt very ill and in lots of pain causing me to vomit.
I now have horrible menstral cycles lasting 9+ days twice a month so basicly every other week heavy painful periods. I have the worst lower back pains,no sex drive and just tired all the time.
When i lay flat on my back I can feel a pintching stabbing pain on my right side like I can feel the coil I thought i was crazy, sex can be painful.
I wouldn’t recommend it to Anyone.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one but now I’m worried I have to get a hysterectomy to fix the problem and I just can’t imagine being on hormones this young for the rest of my life
