I got the Essure procedure done in 2010 and thought that it sounded like it was a good thing to do, as I could not take weeks off school to heal. Ever since this thing has been put inside me I have had one problem after the next. I suffer from massive migraines, horrible lower back pain and pains in my stomach around my uterus that almost bring me to the ground in tears. I also ended up with a cyst on my ovaries that burst sending me to the hospital in so much pain. Then, after I was rudely woken up and told about the cysts I was then told to go get it checked out because it might be cancerous.
I have not gotten anything checked as I have no insurance and I am a wife that is also a starving college student trying to pay for a degree so I can get a real job. I never really thought about what was going on to much because I didn’t really think the problems were coming from the Essure, though I did have my doubts about the procedure after it was done. I hope that the women all over the world who have gotten this done come forward to let the world know their symptoms, so that this may never again happen to any woman.
