Her own devices: Is a contraceptive implant making us sick?

| Reveal | November 25th 2017

In Texas, women with limited access to abortions are traveling across the border to find a drug that will induce miscarriages. In Mississippi, anti-abortion groups are opening crisis pregnancy centers across from abortion clinics to persuade women to keep their babies. And one company offers permanent birth control through the insertion of a simple device – that’s ended up causing health complications for thousands of women.

This week, we look into pregnancy and the ways people try to prevent it, end it and save it.

I now officially have foreign objects inserted into my fallopian tubes. It was definitely an unpleasant procedure, but the staff was wonderful and the aftercare was sufficient and I am very pleased. Or as much as I can be while still being high on xanax, vicodin, industrial-strength ibuprofen, and body trauma.

Thank you, Planned Parenthood. <3

Which sterilization method should I choose? Tube removal (salpingectomy) or clips, cut & burn, bands, etc. (tubal ligation)

Bilateral salpingectomy is now considered the standard of care over tubal ligation. The standard procedure for a bilateral salpingectomy is to remove the entire visible tubes, leaving behind only the portion of the tubes that goes through the muscle of the uterus.

The traditional method of tubal sterilization is tubal ligation, in which the fallopian tubes are blocked, occluded, or interrupted by clips, coagulation (cut & burn), bands, fallope rings, removing a segment of each tube, or another method of tubal ligation.

As of 2015, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that bilateral salpingectomy, the removal of the visible portion of both fallopian tubes, replace tubal ligation as the standard of care for tubal sterilization.

The ACOG writes in their Committee Opinion updated April 2019: ACOG Committee Opinion No. 774: Opportunistic Salpingectomy as a Strategy for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Prevention

Salpingectomy [...] as a means of tubal sterilization appears to be safe and does not increase the risk of complications such as blood transfusions, readmissions, postoperative complications, infections, or fever compared with [...] tubal ligation.

Removal is only slightly more invasive than ligation, with one extra incision (salpingectomies generally require 3 incisions while ligations usually require 2) and 10 minutes more OR time. Both procedures are performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. The recovery and risks are basically identical.

Bilateral salpingectomy as a contraceptive sterilization method is virtually 100% effective... (read more)

Bilateral salpingectomy is also thought to reduce your risk of ovarian cancer, which recent research suggests starts in the tubes. The ACOG writes:

Opportunistic salpingectomy may offer [...] providers the opportunity to decrease the risk of ovarian cancer in their patients who are already undergoing pelvic surgery [...] Although opportunistic salpingectomy offers the opportunity to significantly decrease the risk of ovarian cancer, it does not eliminate the risk of ovarian cancer entirely.

Here is a summary of current research: Many Ovarian Cancers May Start in Fallopian Tubes - National Cancer Institute

Full text of the ACOG 2019 opinion is available from ACOG.org. - Opinion number 774 replaces number 620 (published January 2015), which was the first to recommend salpingectomy for sterilization.

FDA: Bayer Announces Plan to Stop Selling and Distributing in the US

Bayer has announced that they will stop selling and distributing the Essure device in the United States after December 31, 2018 due to declining sales of the product. Bayer will continue to implement the restriction on sale and distribution placed by the FDA on the device in April 2018, to ensure women are fully informed of the risks associated with the device.

Essure was developed and recommended as an alternative to laparoscopic sterilization because it does not usually require general anesthesia or an OR and can be done in-office under IV sedation or local anesthesia. Unlike laparoscopic approaches, it does not require incisions, which lowers the risks. Essure is contraindicated for patients who are sensitive to nickel and is advised against for patients who have autoimmune conditions.

Essure-ongelmia vol. 5

Heippa lukijani! Kello on 01.50 keskiviikko yönä ja uni ei taaskaan tule. Hetki sitten vessakäynnillä huomasin vatsassani ikävän tulehduksen leikkaushaavassa. Leikkaus oli n.3 viikkoa sitten ja neljäs lajissaan niihin epäonnisiin Essureimplantteihin liittyen. Nyt siis näyttää siltä, että ainakin yksi leikkaushaavoista on tulehtunut 😦 Tämä nyt yksinään ei untani olisi haitannut, mutta tämän…
