My name is Shanon and I had the Essure procedure after the birth of my 3rd child, he is now 8. At first, I thought this was wonderful I knew I was done having children. Maybe 6 months later, I kept having abdonimal pain, headaches, lost of memory and sharp pain in my vagina. I went to the Doctor they ran test but nothing was found but I NEVER thought to associate it with the Essure procedure. I saw a commercial from a law firm showing that the FDA had prematruely approved this device and I thought, THAT’S IT! I can be at work sitting at my desk and a sharp pain that makes me scream, I feel in my tubes; I assumed I was ovulating. I’ve constantly gone back and forth to my OB GYN and Primary Care doctor having sereval test ran but never pointed out to them I had Essure. I am currently researching having this procedure reversed. I go next week to have my doctor to personally focus on the Essure and I will go from there.
I’m sure this affects everyone’s body differently but if I was ask to recommend it, I wouldn’t. Just use condoms.
