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.
Essure offers women what no birth control ever has
- No cutting
- No going under general anesthesia
- No slowing down to recover
- No hormones
- No guessing - your doctor can confirm when you can
rely on Essure for birth control
- Short procedure time - Essure only takes about 13
minutes to perform*
- Trusted by women and doctors for over five years
And you'll never have to worry about unplanned
pregnancy again.
The Essure procedure is permanent and is NOT reversible.
Therefore, you should be sure you do not want children
in the future.
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.
