The Essure® procedure offers women a permanent birth control solution without
hormones, cutting or the risks of tubal ligation. It can be performed in the comfort of a
physicians office under local anesthesia in about 10 minutes.

Small, flexible micro-inserts are placed into a womans fallopian tubes through the cervix
without incisions. Within three months, the body and the micro-inserts form a natural
barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg.

After three months, a doctor performs a test to confirm that the micro-inserts are properly
placed, and that the fallopian tubes are fully blocked. An alternate form of contraception
must be used while the natural barrier is forming.

  • So does that mean that to be 100% sure, you have to wait three months?
