I got the Essure tubal done in 2007 after my son turned four years old. I have had nothing but problems since. I suffer from extreme cramps and an increase in vaginal lubrication even though I never had a problem with bad cramps or constant vaginal lubrication before my doctor told me that its just hormonal. It had nothing to do with the procedure. The doctor examined me and told me that the extra lubrication was hormonal changes that occur after having a child and the tenderness on my right side could be just a cyst. I started having really bad headaches my doctor told me its just migranes and that maybe I’m just stressed. I started having and still have really bad rashes my doctor told me that maybe its just me using different soap or detergents on my clothes. I told her that I always use the same products. She told me its allergies and dismissed me. I finally stopped talking to my doctor because she made me feel like I was crazy. Now I just deal with the headaches, cramping and rashes. I regret having the procedure now. If I had been aware and informed about these complications I never woukd habe went through with the procedure.
