Implanted with Essure coils into my folopian tubes in 2003 via an OBGYN in a hospital to prevent future pregnancy due to not wanting any more kids. After 3 months I was assured coils were in place and that I should have no commplicatins no negative feedback or problems had been reported per the doctor at that time. I was 24 when I got the essure. Over 9 years I experienced cramps, acne, heavy prolongged periods for as long as four months on going. Weight gain and rashes. In August 2014 symptoms got worse I started having high anxiety and panic attacks along with prolongged periods. I went to a new OBGYN since the one that inserted it was no longer around. My new OBGYN sent me for a pelvic utrasound what they found was the right coil migrated into my uterus and was causing all my issues. I was unable to have coils removed without a hysterectomy at the age of 35. I was expidited to surgery 11-5-14 where essure coils as well as tubes, cervix and uterus had to be removed. I have suffered enough and essure has caused not only physical trauma but mental as well. My family, career and life was put on hold. Essure needs to be taken off the market it can cause severe medical issues.
