I am a 39 year old woman with two children. I got the essure procedure done in June of 2014. One year later, my periods became erratic. Heavy bleeding and pain with each period. I started noticing my hair thinning and falling out. I have had constant pelvic and cervical pain, lower back pain and intermittent headaches. I have had several vaginal Bacterial infections. I have been to my physician and have had blood work, a pap smear, and ultrasound. They have rules out any STD’s or other issues. Intercourse is now extremely painful. I am not sure what the next step my OB/GYN will take. I am hoping they can surgically remove the essure and see if the problems resolve. I have no control over whether my Dr. will decide to do that. I am just hoping for relief. I have been miserable for a year now!!
