Many women have come forward to lodge complaints about Essure health problems that they experienced after receiving the permanent birth control device. Many of these women say that they weren’t properly warned about these Essure health problems when they first received the permanent sterilization.

Essure is a non-hormonal permanent form of birth control manufactured by Bayer. When the Essure product was first released, it was considered a breakthrough contraceptive device for those women who intended to become permanently sterile.

However, shortly after the device came on the market, many women began to report Essure health problems, including organ perforation, bloating, allergic reactions, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, pelvic pain and excessive bleeding.

These women say that they were never informed about these Essure health problems and had to cope with them on their own. Many of these women say that they would not have selected to use this permanent birth control device had they known about the Essure health problems.

Essure is the only method of sterilization that does not involve surgery for women who are seeking permanent birth control. However, as many women who have received the device say, Essure health problems can be significant despite the fact that the maker of the device markets it as a less invasive alternative to tubal ligation.

The Food and Drug Administration initially approved Essure in 2002 through its fast-track review system. Some of the Essure health problems reported by patients allege that this faster program should never have been used and that more rigorous studies should have been performed.

An increasing number of women are concerned about a variety of Essure health problems including concerns that the Essure coils were given approval by the Food and Drug Administration prior to a proper investigation into their risks.

Thousands of women who were looking for a long-term birth control option selected Essure. However, the Food and Drug Administration has captured more than 4,500 adverse event reports detailing many different Essure health problems.

Essure lawsuits have also been filed against the manufacturer accusing the maker of misleading women about the true safety of the device itself. These lawsuits allege that women who received the Essure birth control device were inadequately warned about Essure health problems.

Due to the lack of a warning, these women claim, they were unable to make an informed decision about their birth control and they now have to cope with the significant consequences and side effects after getting a permanent form of birth control.

The women who have sued over Essure health problems say that the manufacturer either knew or should have known about the dangerous consequences of the device itself but failed to warn the public or the medical community about the possibility of side effects.

Many of these women did not understand where these side effects were coming from and might not have gone to a doctor to get medical attention until the situation became severe.

Even though Bayer agreed to take Essure off the U.S. market by the end of this year, women continue to suffer unexpected complications. Those who do may benefit from participating in an ongoing Essure lawsuit investigation.
