Most Essure coils will not move after they are placed; however, some can move after insertion. The most common reason this happens is because the doctor does not insert athletes foot the coil far enough or because the doctor inserts the coil too far into the fallopian tube. Not inserting Essure far enough
When the coils are not inserted athletes foot far enough into the fallopian tube the contractions from the uterus or tubal muscle can cause the coils to expel into the uterine cavity. The coils can either remain in the cavity and cause heavier periods and cramping or they can be expelled during athletes foot a menstrual cycle. The coils are so small they may not be seen when they are leaving the uterus.
Equally likely are the coils may be inserted too far into the fallopian tube. When this happens the contractions from the uterus or the tubal muscle can cause the coils to be expelled into the end of the tube, the pelvis or the abdominal cavity.
Essure coils can move but it is often because of improper placement. Uterine and tubal contractions immediately after the procedure will cause expulsion of the Essure devices within hours to weeks. Once the coils cause formation of scar tissue athletes foot they then become securely anchored athletes foot in the tube and should not move.
We recently helped a patient who wanted reversal of Essure so she could become pregnant again. Her Essure procedure was uncomplicated and her Essure confirmation HSG confirmed her tubes were blocked and the coils seemed to be in the correct location.
The image shows what we found at the time of Essure reversal. The right Essure athletes foot coil had perforated the uterus near the area of where the right fallopian tube exited the uterus. The left coil was in its proper location inside the tube and cannot be seen in this photo.
We confirmed during surgery her right tube was blocked and we were able to extract the coil and reverse her Essure procedure. After surgery we discussed the findings with her. Looking back she did report athletes foot more cramping and pain on the right but these symptoms were not felt to be severe.
Likely this happened at the time the Essure coils were inserted. The Essure coil either damaged her tube enough to cause closure athletes foot or the very tip of the coil remained in the tube enough to cause tubal blockage. Essure coil removal

Amanda Good points. I am not aware of a coil moving because of too much pressure during HSG. It is theoretically possible but it would only be because the doctor inserted the coil too far to begin with. Coils that go into the abdomen can become encapsulated I am not aware of a coil becoming encapsulated while in the tube but to some extent that is what is supposed to happen during the scar tissue process.
I think you may want to add what may possibly happen if too much pressure is applied during the HSG confirmation test. I have seen them migrate in that situation. Also, what if the coils become encapsulated? Wouldn’t that improve chances of migration as well?
