Stop Filshie Clips

Stop Filshie Clips

The Issue

So many woman are not informed before receiving Filshie Clips. These clips cause so much pain and illness. Once they are in, and give trouble it's on the patient to pay $7000 out of pocket to get it reversed. A lot of women are not even told the clips are being used in the tubaligation process. Women need to be warned ahead of time so they can make an informed decision. Many women are allergic the the metal and not tested prior. Common side effects severe migraines, allergic reaction, hives, swelling, stabbing pain in abdomen, memory loss, fatigue, hair loss, mood swings, hormonal imbalance, and much more. Please help put a stop to these clips being put in women and help the women that have to suffer everyday from these horrible Filshie Clips.
