Event Description
This retrospective pregnancy case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of fallopian tube perforation ("right essure micro-insert had bent and subsequently perforated the fallopian tube"), pregnancy with contraceptive device ("she was (b)(6) pregnant") and loss of consciousness ("black-outs") in a female patient who had essure inserted for female sterilisation.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.Other product or product use issues identified: device ineffective "device ineffective" and device physical property issue "right essure micro-insert had bent and subsequently perforated the fallopian tube".On (b)(6) 2013, the patient had essure inserted.On an unknown date, the patient experienced loss of consciousness (seriousness criterion medically significant), depression ("a worsening of her depression"), alopecia ("hair loss so severe that she was ultimately rendered bald"), dysmenorrhoea ("abnormally severe menstrual pain"), menorrhagia ("abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding / prolonged menstruation"), menstrual disorder ("abnormal menstruation"), abdominal pain lower ("severe lower abdominal pain"), back pain ("back pain"), arthralgia ("hip pain / joint pain"), uterine pain ("uterine pain") and anxiety ("a worsening of her anxiety"), abdominal pain lower ("severe abdominal cramping"), dysgeusia("metallic taste in mouth"), nausea("nausea"), feeling abnormal("brain fog"), amnesia("memory loss"), dizziness("dizziness"), muscular weakness("unexplained muscle weakness"), onychoclasis("brittle finger and toenails"), hyperhidrosis("excessive sweating"), dental caries("tooth decay"), tooth loss("tooth loss"), dyspareunia("painful intercourse"), vaginal discharge("vaginal discharge"), vaginal infection("vaginal infection"), fatigue("fatigue"), headache("headaches"), migraine("migraines"), diarrhoea("diarrhea"), dry eye("dry eyes"), dry skin("dry skin"), rash("topical rashes"), pruritus("itching"), abdominal discomfort("gastrointestinal discomfort"), panic attack("panic attacks"), mood swings("mood swings").In 2015 the patient experienced pregnancy with contraceptive device (seriousness criterion medically significant), with breast pain, pelvic pain and abdominal pain.The pregnancy outcome was reported as a live birth of a child with health problems.The vaginal delivery occurred on (b)(6) 2016.On an unknown date, the patient experienced fallopian tube perforation (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required).The patient was treated with surgery (underwent a bilateral salpingectomy during which both of her fallopian tubes were removed).Essure was removed on (b)(6) 2016.In (b)(6) 2016, the patient experienced attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ("adult-onset attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd)").In (b)(6) 2016, the patient experienced fibromyalgia ("fibromyalgia").At the time of the report, the fallopian tube perforation, pregnancy with contraceptive device, loss of consciousness, alopecia, dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, menstrual disorder, abdominal pain lower, back pain, arthralgia, uterine pain, dysgeusia, nausea, feeling abnormal, amnesia, dizziness, muscular weakness, arthralgia, onychoclasis, hyperhidrosis, dental caries, tooth loss, dyspareunia, vaginal discharge, vaginal infection, fatigue, headache, migraine, diarrhoea, dry eye, dry skin, rash, pruritus, abdominal discomfort, panic attack, mood swings outcome was unknown and the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety had not resolved.The reporter considered attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, fallopian tube perforation, fibromyalgia, pregnancy with contraceptive device, loss of consciousness, depression, alopecia, dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, menstrual disorder, abdominal pain lower, back pain, arthralgia, uterine pain, anxiety , abdominal pain lower, dysgeusia, nausea, feeling abnormal, amnesia, dizziness, muscular weakness, arthralgia, onychoclasis, hyperhidrosis, dental caries, tooth loss, dyspareunia, vaginal discharge, vaginal infection, fatigue, headache, migraine, diarrhoea, dry eye, dry skin, rash, pruritus, abdominal discomfort, panic attack, mood swings to be related to essure.The reporter commented: since removal surgery, some of patient's symptoms have resolved, though her overall physical and mental health has declined, and many symptoms remain.More specifically, in (b)(6) 2016, plaintiff was diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, and adhd, and in (b)(6) 2016, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.As a result, plaintiff continues to be treated with prescription medications and is undergoing therapy.This case is linked with case (b)(4) (child case).Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): hysterosalpingogram - on (b)(6) 2013: right fallopian tube was fully occluded;
