Natural Womanhood
Essure is a sterilization device in the form of a flexible, 4 centimeter metallic coil. It’s inserted into the fallopian tubes through the vagina. It is intentionally designed to cause inflammation leading to the formation of scar tissue, effectively closing the fallopian tube, which prevents the egg and sperm from meeting.
Earlier this year, it was announced that the FDA would require physicians to provide a 22 page informed-consent brochure, discuss it with their patients, and have it signed, before prescribing Essure. This came after Essure has been on the market for 16 years and has been inserted in more than 750,000 women. According to an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association(JAMA), Essure has left more than 28,000 women with chronic pelvic pain or headaches, led to full or partial hysterectomies and is responsible for at least 10 deaths due the device perforating the uterus or fallopian tubes.
