I CAN’T BELIEVE I FELL FOR THIS!!!
In 2014 I had my IUD removed and was looking for a different type of birth control. My doctor recommended Essure. She said it was a simple and painless procedure that would be permanent birth control. I agreed to the procedure. What a mistake.
I have been in pain since the day the procedure was done. I went back to her and she said that after the inflammation went down I should be OK. Since then I have been experiencing night sweats like crazy. I still have pain and my lower back hurts. When I wake in the morning, after a restless night of sweating, it takes a second before I can move. I’m always tired and I’ve gained so much weight. The crazy part is even getting the energy to exercise is a struggle now so the weight just keeps coming on.
I really wish I’d known about the problems with the Essure before. I would never recommend it and I pray it’s taken off the market so other women don’t have to go through what I’m going through.
