Event Description
This spontaneous case was reported by a lawyer and describes the occurrence of pelvic pain ("pain/pelvic area") and pregnancy with contraceptive device ("pregnancy (with complications)") in a (b)(6) year-old female patient who had essure (ess205) 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".The patient's medical history included multigravida, parity 4 (on ((b)(6) 1991, (b)(6) 1994, (b)(6) 2005, (b)(6) 2007).), miscarriage in (b)(6) , c-section (emergency c-section with last pregnancy after essure.) and depression from 2003 to 2018.Concomitant products included sertraline hydrochloride (zoloft) from 2003 to 2018.In (b)(6) 2005, the patient had essure (ess205) inserted.In (b)(6) 2006, the patient experienced flank pain.In 2006, the patient experienced pelvic pain (seriousness criteria medically significant and intervention required).In (b)(6) 2006, the patient was found to have a pregnancy with contraceptive device (seriousness criterion medically significant).In (b)(6) 2008, the patient experienced vaginal haemorrhage ("abnormal bleeding (vaginal, menorrhagia);"), menorrhagia ("abnormal bleeding (vaginal, menorrhagia);"), dysmenorrhoea ("dysmenorrhea cramping);") and dyspareunia ("dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse)").In 2008, the patient was found to have cervix carcinoma ("tumor/teratoma/cancer type: cervical") and uterine cancer ("tumor/teratoma/cancer type: uterine") and experienced vaginal discharge ("vaginal discharge.").The patient was treated with surgery (hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy).Essure (ess205) was removed on (b)(6) 2008.At the time of the report, the pelvic pain, vaginal haemorrhage, menorrhagia, cervix carcinoma, uterine cancer and vaginal discharge had resolved and the pregnancy with contraceptive device, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia and flank pain outcome was unknown.Pregnancy related information: prospective report.Last menstrual period and estimated date of delivery were not provided.Potential fetal exposure to essure (ess205) occurred during the first trimester.The pregnancy outcome was not reported.The reporter considered cervix carcinoma, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, flank pain, menorrhagia, pelvic pain, pregnancy with contraceptive device, uterine cancer, vaginal discharge and vaginal haemorrhage to be related to essure (ess205).Diagnostic results (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): ultrasound scan vagina - on an unknown date: results: total bilateral occlusion.Amendment: the report was amended on (b)(6) 2019 for the following reason: intervention required field was ticked for the event pain/pelvic area.No new follow-up information was received from the reporter.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.
