I had the Essure procedure in May of 2010. Since I had the Essure proceudre my periods have been heavy, at times my periods would come 2 times a month lasting a week or longer. Sometimes I dont have a period at all and the next one is worse. My uterus is constantly hard and distended at all times. I have constant stabbing pains throughout the day whether I am ovulating/menstruating or not. I’ve had urinary incontinence but my implanting surgeon refuses to say its the Essure. I have had ovarian cysts that burst if I am on my feet too long throughout the day(which is often as a mother of 3). Sex has become painful in most positions. I have heavy vaginal discharges to the point I have to wear a pad at all times. I was not tested for nickel allergy and I believe its what is causing the rash break out on my stomach, breasts and back. While not itchy it makes me very self concious. I would never recommend this to other women.
