Complications have been reported in some patients with the use of ESSURE (permanent birth control system) including changes in menstrual bleeding, unintended pregnancy, chronic pain, perforation and migration of device, allergy and various non-specific symptoms suggestive of sensitivity or immune-type reactions. Some complications may be considered serious. In some cases, the extent of the symptoms led to the removal of ESSURE. The removal of ESSURE requires surgery and may include hysterectomy. Post-marketing information suggests that some patients may not always be fully informed of the various possible device and procedure-related complications before they choose whether to proceed with ESSURE.
