Essure Birth Control Contraceptive Linked To Serious Side Effects, Complications, Revisionary Surgery, Pregnancies and Deaths

Essure® Birth Control Device

Essure® birth control is a non surgical permanent contraceptive device. The device is very popular among women looking to avoid the complications of invasive surgery. The device is constructed of flexible metal coils that are inserted into the fallopian tubes. There are also polyester fibers inside of the coils, which create inflammation intended to prevent sperm from passing through, preventing conception of a child. Unfortunately, the Essure® device has been linked to very serious side effects and complications that may require corrective surgery or a total hysterectomy.

Side Effects Associated With The Essure® Device

• Allergic Reactions (to the nickel used in the coil)
• Migration of the coil through the fallopian tubes
• Fallopian tube perforation
• Uterus perforation
• Hysterectomy
• Vaginal Bleeding
• Cramping
• Nausea
• Fainting
• Vomiting
• Unusual or Ectopic pregnancies
• Back pain
• Pelvic pain

These complications can lead to serious injuries and even death. Several members of Congress have urged the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the Essure® birth control device because, as they state, the risks outweigh the benefits.
