I am 34 years old and had Essure put in 5 years ago. My doctor told me it was new but very affective and is safe.
I have been in nothing but constant pain since then. I have cramps so bad i puke or am in the fetal position, constant lower back pain which makes my hips hurt. I get pain during sexual intercourse which affects not just me but my boyfriend. The constant pain affects my everyday life and the things i could do with my children, but cant doing much of anything.
I am seeing a obgyn in may so can have it removed which means a hysterectomy and I don’t think that’s fair. Woman shouldn’t have to have a hysterectomy unless need be not because of something there doctor assured us would be safe and affective. I just want my normal pain free life back so i can enjoy my children before they get older and i miss all the good times i can have with them.
