Hello,
I am 45 years of age and have had the essure implants for several years. My obgyn at the time recommended having it implanted before having an ablation done. I so desparately wanted the heavy periods to stop that I agreed. Since such time I have had uncountable urinary tract infections, cramping, bloating, stomach ulcers, extreme fatigue, incontinence, depression and much much more. I have been to the hospital numerous times with abdominal pain. I have seen three obgyns and a urologist besides regular visits to my family doctor.
My only saving grace in all this is my family doctor who has not given up on me and has come to the same conclusion as myself. The essure implants are the cause of my severe abdominal pain. The pain use to be intermittent but as of July 2014 it has been consistent. I was advised by the most recent gynocologist that if I was going to have issues with the essure my body would have rejected the implants early on. I am a police officer in one of the most dangerous city’s in the country. I need to be able to perform my job at 100 percent. I am so exasperated with this whole issue and I do not know what step to take next. I just want to feel like my old self again.
