  1. For most women, there is a preference to have a minimally invasive procedure with a faster recovery time, which a tubal ligation does not offer. Additionally, some women seeking permanent birth control have health conditions (such as obesity, allergy to anesthesia and certain heart conditions) that prevent them from undergoing a tubal ligation, which is a major surgical procedure.

    Woman now have the Essure procedure available to them and it is covered by most insurance companies so it can cost as low as an in-office co-pay.

    Essure is a permanent birth control procedure that can be done in the comfort of a physician’s office in about thirteen minutes — without hormones, cutting, burning or the risks associated with general anesthesia and tubal ligation.

    During the procedure, small, flexible micro-inserts are placed in the woman’s fallopian tubes through the vagina and cervix. Within three months, the body forms a natural barrier around the micro-inserts that prevents the sperm from reaching the egg.

    Three months after the Essure micro-inserts are placed in the fallopian tubes, a doctor will perform an Essure Confirmation Test to confirm that the tubes are fully blocked and that the woman can rely on Essure for permanent birth control.
