I had essure done in 2009…sounded like a great way of sterilization. My doctor recommended it.I was 43, I had 3 children and was fresh out of a divorce. A few months after the procedure I noticed I was still having alot of pain in my abdomen. It was like I could feel the wire inside me. I went back 6 months post op and did the scan and my doctor said it was a success. However, I was still in pain. I went for two ultrasounds and follow up visits. Finally, my doctor told me that some women just have a reaction to them and the only option is to do a partial hysterectomy. I didn’t. I still live with the pain most days and my periods are very heavy. I am sorry I did the essure procedure so so much.

Wow reading all your stories made me cancel my Essur procedure. My doctor was very opened to anything I wanted, but I asked her if there was any side effects and she said no. I’m glad I did some research before the appointment. I am getting my tubal scheduled. Thanks ladies.
