Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of uterine perforation ('uterus perforation / migration'), pregnancy with contraceptive device ('pregnancy (no complication)') and genital haemorrhage ('general abnormal bleeding') in an adult 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".On (b)(6) 2012, the patient had essure inserted.On an unknown date, the patient experienced uterine perforation (seriousness criterion medically significant), genital haemorrhage (seriousness criterion medically significant), pelvic pain ("pelvic pain"), abdominal pain ("abdominal pain"), dysmenorrhoea ("dysmenorrhea (cramping)"), dyspareunia ("dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse)"), psychological trauma ("psych injury") and vaginal infection ("vaginal infection") and was found to have a pregnancy with contraceptive device (seriousness criterion medically significant).Essure treatment was not changed.At the time of the report, the uterine perforation, pregnancy with contraceptive device, genital haemorrhage, pelvic pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, psychological trauma and vaginal infection outcome was unknown.Pregnancy related information: retrospective report.Last menstrual period and estimated date of delivery were not provided.Potential fetal exposure to essure occurred during the first, second and third trimesters.The pregnancy outcome was reported as a live birth.It was unknown whether the child was healthy.The reporter considered abdominal pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, genital haemorrhage, pelvic pain, pregnancy with contraceptive device, psychological trauma, uterine perforation and vaginal infection to be related to essure.The reporter commented: patient received treatment for pelvic pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (cramping) ,dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), general abnormal bleeding, psych injury, migration, perforation and vaginal infection.Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): imaging procedure: on (b)(6) 2012: essure confirmation test(s) (unspecified) bilateral occlusion.Quality-safety evaluation of ptc: unable to confirm complaint.Most recent follow-up information incorporated above includes: on 5-sep-2019: pfs received.Previously reported event "injury" was updated to "pelvic pain", events- " migration, uterus perforation, pregnancy, general abnormal bleeding, device ineffective, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (cramping), dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), psych injury and vaginal infection", lab data was added incident: no lot number or device sample was received in this case.At this time, we have no information suggesting that the device failed to meet its specifications.We will conduct a review of our complaint records and other non-conformances data; should any new and reportable information become available from our investigation, this will be provided in a supplementary report.
