Procedure called Esure

by lintom47, May 23, 2007 12:00AM
I would like to know if anyone has ever had the Essure procedure done. My friend is thinking about it and was wondering if anyone had any expierience. Her husband won't get vascectomy and she really does'nt want to tie tubes. This procedure is no cutting and is permanent. Any advice would really help.

i had the procedure done at the end of june. unfortunately i don't have any good advise. i began "spotting" but heavy spotting, enough to wear a tampon certain days.  i had a normal cycle in july, but the spotting began in august and didn't stop until the 28th of sept. then it started again on the 10th of oct. and still hasn't stopped. i am currently finishing the second antibiotic my doc prescribed and actually just left another msg to tell him it didn't help any. i have no cramping or any pains, just the constant spotting. my husband makes jokes that it is a great form of birth control bcuz i won't have intercourse with him while like this.  your friend needs to talk to her doc & see if this is a normal complication. if so, beware. no pains physically, just a pain in my arse.  good luck.

I had the procedure done the 20th of Nov O7, I bled from then until the first part of Feb, I quit and didn't have a period until May 18, and never quit bleeding. I seen my doctor last week and he said I had a uterine infection, gave me a shot of antibiotics and put me on provera for 30 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop said I would have to have a dnc.  I have had cramping and have been sick at my stomach.  Hope yours is better.

I just had the procedure Dec 1, 2008. I bled for two weeks that's it. I dont know if feeling nauseated is a side effect? Now I'm not sure what to expect. I am only hoping that it will not get as bad as the other women symptoms

I had the e-sure procedure done because I was told it would prevent pregnancy and give me a lighter menstrual cycle.  I had it done on 09/30 and have developed a bacterial infection with sever abdominal pain.  I'm reading horror stories about this procedure such as one lady having the procedure and then having children afterwards.  At this time even though it's only been a week since the procedure was done I would not recommend it to anyone until they have done more research on it.  I am almost 40, recently married for a little over a year with a 17 year old son who is close to going to college.   I work full-time and attend college part-time and do not want more children and thought this procedure would take care of the fears of becoming pregnant at my age.  I hope it works for me but I am doubtful at this time.
