Pain-Free After Essure Removal

Essure removal is being sought after by women who have had the procedure and are not happy with it. There are numerous reasons for women trying to have the coils removed but many are complaining of extended bleeding and other physical ailments. Some of the ailments include:
  • Heavy bleeding with periods as well as clotting.
  • Skin rashes that are thought to be due to nickel allergy.
  • Irregular periods.
  • Lethargy
  • Pain where Essure coils are located.
  • Thinning hair.
  • Acne
  • Bouts of insomnia.
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Numbing in extremities.
  • Loss of libido.
  • Painful intercourse.


This is just a partial list of what some women are experiencing. The list is longer and seems to grow longer daily. The women that are suffering with the above complaints want to have a doctor perform Essure removal.

Couples will often return to the physician that performed the Essure procedure. Nine times out of ten the couple is told that the only way to remove the coils is with a hysterectomy.

Essure has been around for a few years now. The use of Essure as a permanent birth control for women is being used more often because of the conveniences it offers. The spring like coils can be inserted right in the physician’s office. There is no need for surgery that is needed for the more traditional types of tubal ligation. The recovery period after the procedure is minimal.

As there are women that love the freedom that Essure gives them there are women that are having issues or side effects. There are women that are posting on the Internet about Essure problems and want to have the Essure coils removed. Some of the problems are:

  • Unexplained weight gain.
  • Painful intercourse.
  • Stabbing pain where the coils are located.
  • Thinning hair.
  • Irregular bleeding and spotting.
  • Menstrual cycles or periods that are much worse than before the Essure procedure was performed.

The above symptoms are just a few of what those who are having Essure problems are experiencing. In most cases women are being told that the only way to have the Essure removed is with a hysterectomy. This is not the case. The Essure coils and all scar tissue can be removed. If a couple decides they want more children the healthy portions of the fallopian tubes can be reattached to the uterus and fertility restored.

Pain and Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome affects some women after they have a tubal ligation or their tubes tied. Often they will bounce from doctor to doctor only to be told there is nothing that can be diagnosed because all test results will come back normal. Women will absolutely know that there is “something” wrong but they cannot convince those in the medical field.

How is Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Diagnosed?

Because there is no one medical test that can be used to check for PTLS there is no concrete evidence to prove that this syndrome actually happens. If you are a woman suffering with this there is not one person who is going to convince you that PTLS is not real. Because there are so many symptoms that can take place with PTLS it means that there can be a large number of tests run. In the meantime, women are suffering and insurance companies do not recognize that PTLS is something that actually happens to women.

Women Seeking Answers

There is nothing more aggravating then having someone tell you there is nothing wrong. The reason you are losing your hair is because there has to be some type of stress or hair thinning is hereditary. The reason why you periods are now to the point where you can’t function is because you are getting older. The reason your mood swings are so bad is because you are depressed and must need a medication for it. Any of the above reasons sound familiar?

There are women who will not be dismissed so easily. This is not in their heads and they will not learn to “live with it”. The want their lives back and they want the problem fixed.

Tubal Reversal Center Hears Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Sufferers

Millions of women undergo the permanent sterilization known as tubal ligation or having ones tubes tied. Couples choose tubal ligation because they do not want any more children. The tubal ligation makes life simpler because they do not have to worry about birth control or the fear of an unwanted pregnancy.

Most women are content after they have their tubes tied. They have no pregnancy worries and life goes on. But for some the story is completely different. These women that have issues following a tubal ligation never suspect the ligation to be the thing causing the issue.

Because many women have the tubal ligation procedure while still in the hospital following childbirth their bodies are taxed. Giving birth takes a great toll and not many women are feeling “themselves” following birth. Soon after giving birth the tubes are then ligated. The women and her new baby go home and settle into a new routine.

As the family is settling into their routine Mom is noticing differences that are just not right. For some that have had children before they notice that their milk supply may be way down. With the previous children there was never a milk supply issue.

For others it can be the menstrual periods that are not the same as it was before getting pregnant. The periods seem to come on with a vengeance with spotting and bleeding mid cycle. When they do get their periods they are much heavier and the clotting and cramping can be unbearable. Other suffering with Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome can also have mood swings, hair loss, weight gain.

Many women do not know what is happening to them and go to their physicians. They ask if there is a slight possibility that the tubal ligation could be causing this and they are most often told no. Many blood tests are performed as well as a variety of other medical tests. Everything comes back normal but the women know they are not feeling good.

Once women begin researching on the Internet many often stumble onto information explaining what Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome is. More than one woman has sat at her computer and cried because she had actually found what was causing her so much pain and ruling her life.

Once the Post Tubal Ligation sufferers realize that they are not alone a whole new door is opened for them. There are women fining relief from PTLS and it is through tubal ligation reversal surgery. Many women have had relief almost immediately following the surgery and they are talking about it.

Post tubal ligation side effects are common among those that have had the tubal ligation procedure. Many suffer for months and years’ not realizing what was wrong with them and even with numerous medical tests nothing could be resolved.

And They Said Essure Reversal Was Impossible!



For all of the women out there that were told by their physician that a full hysterectomy is needed for Essure Reversal this is not true. It may be the only way many doctors know how to remove the Essure springs but it is not the only way.

The surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have proven this theory wrong. This is not the first time these expert tubal reversal surgeons have encountered the medical world telling patients something that was permanent couldn’t be reversed. They were also told this about the Adiana permanent sterilization and again proved the theory wrong.

The Medical Director at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the best in the tubal reversal field. Dr. Gary Berger will figure out a way to reverse a permanent sterilization through careful and meticulous thought and research. If he states there is a chance then he has done his homework. Essure Reversal cannot only be reversed but fertility can be restored.

After performing an Essure Reversal that lasted for 2 hours and 4 minutes Dr. Berger managed to reverse all signs of scar tissue and the Essure coils. Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith are routinely reversing this procedure with great results.

The first Essure Reversal baby was born on February 28, 2011. Elizabeth was the first Essure Reversal baby born for the center. Not only did the parents have a second chance their dream also came true.

There are many women who have had the Essure procedure that want the procedure reversed. When they approach the physician that they would like the coils removed they are being told the only way is with a hysterectomy. This is very disheartening to those who realize they have made a huge mistake and want to have another child. Luckily they begin researching online and many do see that the coils as well as the scar tissue can be taken out. Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith feel that it is better to just completely remove the coils so that way there will be no issues in the future.
