Today’s video comes courtesy of director Melanie Goshgarian and the Essure Problems Facebook group. Bayer’s “permanent” birth control device, Essure, is quite the nasty little thing. Coils containing nickel and plastics are inserted into the fallopian tubes to cause permanent sterilization. It only works about 90% of the time, but it does leave some awfully permanent damage. Essure side effects are debilitating and even deadly.
Today’s video comes courtesy of director Melanie Goshgarian and the Essure Problems Facebook group. Note: it does show an actual surgery. Bayer’s “permanent” birth control device, Essure, is quite the nasty little thing. Coils containing nickel and plastics are inserted into the fallopian tubes to cause permanent sterilization. It only works about 90% of the time, but it does leave some awfully permanent damage. Essure side effects are debilitating and even deadly.
Among the Essure side effects over 25,000 women are enduring are:
- Excruciating pelvic & abdominal pain
- Horrible rashes (seen in the video)
- Autoimmune disorders, such as Lupus
- Widespread, chronic pain
- Loss of teeth & hair
- Coil migration, which causes organ perforation
- Partial or full hysterectomy (shown in video) often in their 20s or 30s
- Death
- Miscarriages and still births
Yet, this device is still on the market. Why?
The Essure device has pre-market approval (PMA) which means, no matter how bad the damages, that no one can sue the company.
The E-Free Act, sponsored by Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) will strip Essure’s PMA and force the FDA to have the product taken off the market.
Write your representatives and ask them to support the E-Free Act. Help prevent more suffering and help those who deserve justice get it.
