Birth Control - Permanent Sterilization:
Permanent sterilization is among
the most frequently performed operations in the Untied States.
There are many techniques described for this procedure, but most
simply involve removing a portion of the fallopian tube and
closing the intervening ends, thus providing a barrier between
sperm and egg.
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 performed at both of Westside Women's Care offices, call now for a consultation.
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.Additional information about the Essure procedure is available at www.essure.com or by calling the Essure Information line at 1-877-ESSURE1.
