Thread: Essure gone wrong!

Good morning ladies,

I wanted to share my horrible experience with the Essure procedure. This past Friday morning, I was admitted for outpatient surgery for Essure. My Dr. told me the risks of the coil going into the abdomen, but assured me that this NEVER happens. I was taken in and then after, in recovery, I was bleeding terribly on my right side. I had horrible pain. My Dr. came in and when she pressed on the right side, I would bleed a lot. After an ultrasound, my Dr. made the decision to take out my fallopian tubes. I was rushed to the Hospital to have the tubes and coils removed. My Dr. did not follow, she put me in the hands of someone else. I went in for a second surgery,, invasive this time. The Dr. cut me open and looked at everything and decided to clamp my tubes instead of removing them. So, when I woke up, I had incisions, clamps and coils. I was released from the hospital with assurance that all was fine. Once home, the severe pain in my right side returned. I tried to take the pain meds to no avail. Because I am not a pain med taker, I knew that if those weren't working, something was wrong. My boyfriend rushed me back to the hospital at midnight and I was admitted for pain management. Early the next morning, my Dr. called and decided to do a 3rd surgery to remove the right coli. She said that this could turn out to be a full hysterectomy if the coil had punctured anything in my uturus. I went in for a 3rd surgery in 24 hours and the coil on the right side was straight and puncturing. She removed the coil and did xrays for metal fragments. Now I am just lost, I have one coil in, clamps, and I am still in pain. I have to be off work and I am so confused as to why all this happened. DONT HAVE ESSURE LADIES! NOT WORTH IT!

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I had the Essure implants and walked out with less discomfort than a pap smear. I hope that you find some relief and answers as to what happened.

Best wishes,
Leslie
