I’m a thirty-year-old woman that had severe affects of the Essure device. One of the coils was in my uterus. I went through months of sever pain and I had no energy because I was so sick. What I now know as the reason for the pain was the nickel that’s in the Essure devices. I was never told about the nickel component. My doctor ignored when me I complained of being in pain. She kept saying it was natural what I was feeling.
To cut this long story short, I ended having to two surgeries. The last one being a full hysterectomy. Since having that done, I’m back to normal! I am now pain-free. It’s sad that the FDA has not removed this off the market yet! There are many women with the same terrible side affects. Women are not told of all information about the Essure before the coils are placed. This is not right and something needs to be done!
