I had been taken birth control pills for 3 years after my last pregnancy. I have three children. My husband and i decided to not have any more.
I went to my Ob/Gyn and he told me about the Essure birth control procedure . It seemed like a good ,safe ,easy procedure so we said yes.
I did everything like the doctor instructed but soon after I started to have right pelvic pain and discharge. Sex was becoming painful and not enjoyable. I would spot in between periods.
I returned to the doctor but he said everything was fine. After several visits and a change of doctors I had to have surgery.
A hysterectomy was preformed finding that the Essure coils were starting to protrude both tubes and my ovary (right) was twisted and upside down.
I was so happy the pain was over and the embarrassing smell and discharge stopped
I would NEVER recommend this procedure to anyone.
