Sterilization proc.: An incisionless sterilization procedure performed in the office. Inserts are placed into the fallopian tubes (which transport the egg from the ovaries to the uterus where they are fertilized). They are inserted using a special tool that passes through the vagina, cervix, and uterus, into the fallopian tubes. The insert causes scarring of the tubes so eggs cannot get through. Quick, effective.

Birth Control: Essure is a cool way to have permanent birth control in your doctor's office. No general anesthesia, no incisions, walk out with a smile. It's done with a hysteroscope (thin camera wand) through the cervix, thin implants are placed in the tubes, 3 months later-a test to prove the tubes are blocked and you're done. Check out their website, they're pretty funny, esp the dudes watching vasectomies.

Permanent Sterilizat: Essure is a type of permanent sterilization for women. It is performed through the vagina, blocking the tubes with a very tiny coil.It is a quick in and out procedure and can even be performed in some doctor's offices. However not all women are good candidates for an essure. Contact you doctor to find out if this is the best option for you.

Female birth control: Esdure us a non-incision, permanent birth control for women. It can be performed under very little anesthesia in an mds office. Small inserts are placed inside the uterus and into the tubes. The body then "heals" them into a natural barrier to prevent pregnancy. It is hormone free, and unlike the iud- this is permanent. Fda states it has the lowest failure rate in use. Go to essure.Com for info.

Birth Control : Essure is a form of "tubal ligation" for women. It is done with a local anesthetic through the vagina. Because it is done without an incision, it is non-invasive and has minimal/no down time.
