Essure Removal and Relief

As the permanent form of female sterilization becomes more popular there seems to be more women searching for ways to have it removed or reversed. For some it is because they regret the decision they have made and want to try to have another child. For others it is because they are experiencing side effects of the procedure and want the Essure coils removed from their bodies.

Although Essure is considered permanent it can be removed without having to have a full hysterectomy. Although many are lead to believe the coils can only be taken out through the major surgery associated with a hysterectomy this is false. Expert surgeons can relieve Essure problems. The surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have been performing Essure removal by using a procedure called tubouterine implantation.

With this procedure the surgeon removes the coils from the fallopian tubes and reattaches the healthy part of the tube back to the uterus. Though it sounds relatively simple it does take an experienced surgeon to perform this delicate surgery. Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith have been performing this surgery for quite sometime.

As with any new medical procedure there will be women who have adverse reactions. Some of the adverse effects that seem to have taken place with women are:

• Unexplained skin rashes.
• Joint pain.
• Lethargy
• Pain where the coils are located within the fallopian tubes.
• A stabbing sharp pain that happens in the abdomen when in a certain position.
• Irregular bleeding and spotting.
• Metallic taste in the mouth.
• Bloating
• Urinary tract infections.
• Unknown discharge- may be of brownish color or sometimes clear fluid.

This is just a partial list of symptoms that have been reported. Many times the patients will call the physician who performed the Essure procedure and will be told that there is no way the coils could be causing this.

If you have Essure and would like it removed it can be done without having a full hysterectomy. There is life after Essure removal and without having to go through a major surgery and recuperation period.
