After having hormone issues my entire life and being on birth control for 23 years, my doctor advised me to have the essure procedure. My coils were implanted on October 25,21012. Immediately I began having back pain, some days so bad I can barely walk. some of my symptoms include pelvic pain, hair loss, bloating, gastrointestinal issues. When I had my HSG test done in March 2013 we discovered that the left coil did not work and is now just in my body somewhere, everyday I am in fear that it will perforate an organ.
