Need to Clarify Risks section

Need to clarify whether these refer to getting it inserted or are on-going risks. So, for example, when "Vasovagal response" is listed as a risk, is that a risk only during the procedure being done, and if you don't get it while it's being done, or whether there is additionally, a risk of getting such an effect not just during/right after the procedure but days or months or years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harel (talk • contribs) 01:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

   Started separating the immediate vs. long-term risks. Added frequency of complications for those I found a reference for. Need to update more, as it's still just a long list of risks without a lot of context. May be beneficial to have a cutoff below which rarer complications should just not be listed.

Advertising

Noticed a TV ad for the first time tonite. Is that new? I think they mentioned 5 years experience; did they recently finish a long-term study that provides a new marketing-strategy option? If verifiable, such changes of status seem to me appropriate for inclusion.

Page sabotaged?

I don't know enough about this but it looks like the page has been edited to include strange remarks about carcinogens and what appear to be uncited statements about the product's safety (or lack thereof). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.224.66 (talk) 18:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Forced Sterilization of Military Officers under "Risk" Section

Not sure this is exactly true. From the "Risk" section:

"The U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Contracting Center North Atlantic, located at MCAA NA Bldg T20, 6900 Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20307-5000 has announced its plan to procure 'ESSURE' Permanent Birth Control devices, using Taxpayer money, to permanently sterilize Female Military Service-persons and their Spouses. It is announced under Solicitation Number: W91YTZ-15-T-0044 (https://www.fbo.gov/spg/USA/MEDCOM/DADA15/W91YTZ-15-T-0044/listing.html)."

This section and/or citation either need clarification or to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bear77 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Risks

This long indiscriminate list of adverse events under "Risks" would seem to violate WP:MEDMOS: "a long list of side effects is largely useless without some idea of which are common or serious."

I think most doctors agree that Essure has risks, such as those reported in the NEJM and BMJ articles -- of death, intractable pain, and unintended pregnancy. But I think we should limit the adverse effects to those reported in WP:MEDMOS sources. I realize that some doctors follow Facebook to find out adverse effects that aren't reported elsewhere, but Facebook isn't even a WP:RS. --Nbauman (talk) 11:07, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

I removed the uncited mention of stillborn babies being born with coils in their ears, but that whole paragraph about the facebook group is a mix of copy-paste from the BBC article and non-grammatical sentences... Archdiamond (talk) 01:49, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
