Essure
procedure:
The
Essure procedure is the first and only FDA approved female
sterilization procedure to have zero pregnancies in the clinical
trials. The Essure procedure is permanent and is NOT reversible.
Therefore, you should be sure you do not want children in the
future.
The Essure procedure is different than the traditional method of
a surgical tubal ligation. With Essure there is no cutting into
the body. Instead, an Essure trained doctor inserts spring-like
coils, called micro-inserts, through the body’s natural pathways
(vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes.
The procedure can be performed in your doctor’s office without
general anesthesia.
Overview of Essure:
Essure is a permanent birth control procedure that works with
your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy. This
gentle procedure can be performed in a doctor's office in less
than an hour.
Trusted by women and doctors for over five years, Essure is
covered by most insurance providers. If the Essure procedure is
performed in a doctor's office, depending on your specific
insurance plan, payment may be as low as a simple co-pay.

About the Procedure:
The Essure procedure does not require any cutting into the body. Instead, an Essure trained doctor inserts small flexible micro-inserts™ through the body’s natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes.
The procedure can be performed in the comfort of a doctor’s office without general anesthesia, and most women resume their normal activities within one day.
During the 3 months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a natural barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this period, you must continue using another form of birth control (other than an IUD or IUS).
Three months after the Essure procedure, a doctor will perform an Essure Confirmation Test, to confirm that the tubes are fully blocked and that the women can rely on Essure for permanent birth control.
Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural menstrual cycle. Your periods should more or less continue in their natural state.
