I had the Essure procedure done in 2009. I thought it would be perfect for me as I was a stay at home mom of now 4 children. Everything was great. Only a little cramping. The next day I felt wonderful.
It was roughly 6 months or so later, I was tired all the time, constant pain in my lower back and cramps. I suffered weight loss and head aches. The pain had gotten so bad I went to the ER in 2010. They ran some tests and told me I had a cyst rupture and tht I needed to contact my ob/gyn. I went for the follow-up and she said there was no evidence of any cysts. I was then told to contact my family Doctor and see a stomach specialist (really?)! I know that it is all to do with the Essure.
It’s so sad to say, but I am so used to the pain, it no longer bothers me. I’m tired of being turned away. I will never suggest this to anybody. Recently I have noticed I’m even more fatigued. I just hope we can have some answers, or help even with this awful procedure
