Hello ladies! I had my procedure done in June of 2011 and was perfectly fine until about 6 months ago when I started having irregular periods and pinching in my stomach to abdomen area. I went in and talked to my obgyn and was told that this was the first he has heard of anyone having problems with the Essure. I have started experiencing pain and cramping in the tube area to the point where I am unable to walk very well and I have to be bent at the waist. It honestly feels as if the coils could pop out of my skin somewhere.
The doctor told me that a full hysterectomy is the only thing that could take care of the problem but I am 32 years old with two small children and I am not sure I am ready to do that yet. Why are the doctors not willing to say there are problems associated with the Essure? When is someone going to start coming up with other options. I hurt so bad but I really don’t feel being unable to care for my two kids for 8 weeks is an option. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
