I am 41 years old now. I had the essure implants in 2010 after the birth of my twins, since then my health began to fail. I have experienced excessive bleeding, on any given monthly cycle I have passed more than 2 cups of blood clots. I have sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdominal area and debilitating pain each month. I constantly feel dizzy and light headed. I was recently hospitalized due to a perforated transverse colon and developed sepis and almost died. Doctors could not tell me what caused that tear in my colon. After all the research I feel that all these health problems began aproximately six month to a year after my surgery. I was told this surgery was permanent and could not be reversed now after all of these health problems I just want them out even if they have to do a historectomy. Unfortunately I cant afford to do that at this time.
