Hi, I am still trying to figure out if Essure is contributing to my illness. I felt ill on BC pills and likely started some sort of hormone imbalance then. This was the reason I chose Essure. I was told it was made of surgical steel. Little did I know that surgical steel isn’t stainless steel. It is a mix of nickel, phtalates (sp), and titanium. All of which can cause allergic reactions in the body
I was told the confirmation test was dye flushed through the uterus. Not that contrast would be used. I don’t react well to contrast and would have made a different decision just knowing that.
I go in tomorrow to see a different obgyn to figure out if this pain is from the implants, or my pcos has come back or maybe some other problem.
I will likely get them removed but hope one of the handful of places that specialize in Essure removal can do so successfully. It will cost at least $4500 not including hotel and plane tics and car rental.
