About the case

Essure is a non-surgical permanent birth control method designed to prevent pregnancy by creating a blockage in the fallopian tubes. Introduced in 2001 as a less invasive alternative to surgical sterilization, such as tubal ligation, as it did not require general anesthesia or incisions and was inserted vaginally. Thousands of women across the EU opted for this permanent contraception method.

However, over time, serious health complications have been reported, including:

  • Chronic pelvic, joint, or lower back pain
  • Abdominal inflammation
  • Abnormal bleeding
  • Fatigue, headaches, hair loss
  • Allergic reactions (hives, itching)
  • Severe mood changes, including depression
  • Cognitive disorders

Regulatory bodies in Europe, including France and the European Commission, implemented stricter safety measures for this device. In September 2018, Bayer announced that it would permanently discontinue sales of Essure, citing commercial reasons, rather than safety concerns! 

If you have experienced health complications related to Essure, you may have the right for compensation.  Register now to explore your legal options. We are committed to support every woman affected by Essure and help them.
