Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of device breakage ('device breakage') and uterine inflammation ('uterine inflammation') in a (b)(6) old female patient who had essure inserted for contraception.The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.The patient's medical history included gravida ii and gravida ii.In (b)(6) 2014, the patient had essure inserted.In 2017, the patient experienced device breakage (seriousness criterion medically significant), uterine inflammation (seriousness criterion medically significant), device dislocation ("device dislocation"), abdominal pain lower ("cramp in lower abdomen"), breast pain ("mastalgia"), oedema ("edema and distention"), menorrhagia ("increased mentrual flow and duration (at least 15 days) with clots"), headache ("intensive headache"), peripheral swelling ("leg swelling"), pain in extremity ("leg pains"), paraesthesia ("tingling"), tremor ("shakiness"), pelvic pain ("pelvic pain"), back pain ("lower back pain"), uterine pain ("sensation of perforation in the uterus"), discomfort ("twinge"), fatigue ("fatigue"), loss of libido ("lack of libido"), dyspareunia ("pain during and after intercourse"), coital bleeding ("bleeding during and after intercourse"), arthralgia ("joint pain"), mood swings ("mood swings"), alopecia ("hair loss"), adenomyosis ("suspected adenomyosis"), intra-abdominal fluid collection ("abdominal fluid"), pain ("general pain"), vaginal discharge ("vaginal discharge with unpleasant smell"), depression ("depression"), dysmenorrhoea ("dysmenorrhea"), vulvovaginal pruritus ("itchy vaginal"), diarrhoea ("diarrhea intermittent") and abdominal distension ("edema and distention").In (b)(6) 2020, the patient experienced endometriosis ("endometriosis").On an unknown date, the patient experienced anxiety ("anxiety").At the time of the report, the device breakage, device dislocation, breast pain, oedema, back pain, discomfort, mood swings, adenomyosis, vaginal discharge, depression, endometriosis, dysmenorrhoea, vulvovaginal pruritus, diarrhoea, anxiety and abdominal distension outcome was unknown and the uterine inflammation, abdominal pain lower, menorrhagia, headache, peripheral swelling, pain in extremity, paraesthesia, tremor, pelvic pain, uterine pain, fatigue, loss of libido, dyspareunia, coital bleeding, arthralgia, alopecia, intra-abdominal fluid collection and pain had not resolved.The reporter considered abdominal distension, abdominal pain lower, adenomyosis, alopecia, anxiety, arthralgia, back pain, breast pain, coital bleeding, depression, device breakage, device dislocation, diarrhoea, discomfort, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, endometriosis, fatigue, headache, intra-abdominal fluid collection, loss of libido, menorrhagia, mood swings, oedema, pain, pain in extremity, paraesthesia, pelvic pain, peripheral swelling, tremor, uterine inflammation, uterine pain, vaginal discharge and vulvovaginal pruritus to be related to essure.The reporter commented: the patient often went o emergency room due to pain and analgesics, anti-inflammatory were taken to control it.The reporter also stated that the patient is really worried about a possible uterine perforation occurs so, the patient was requesting essure removal.Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): x-ray - on an unknown date: essure was not in the correct position.The devices were on the verge of punching your internal organs, more precisely the reproductive organ.Based on the available information, a review of our complaint records and other relevant data will be conducted; any new and reportable information that becomes available from our investigation will be provided in a supplementary report.
