I was 26 years old when I had the essure procedure. I had the essure procedure done in 2012. I am an RN who had knowledge about the procedure, before during and after surgery. I had severe cramping and spotting after the procedure. Was told that I probably just had a UTI. Continued to have the cramping and at my 3-month HSG testing it was determined that one of my coils was in the correct place but the other one was ‘dislodged’. I was then informed that I was going to need laproscopic surgery. After the surgery, I dound out that one of my coils perforated my uterus and lodged in my abdominal cavity and the coil that showed that it was in place on the test perforated my uterus wrapped around my filobian tube and attached to my coil. My doctor told me that I was lucky that the coil didnt perforate my colon. I could’ve ended up with a colostomy bag. I had to have a tubal ligation done and have not had any problems since.
