Hysteroscopic SterilizationEssure® & Adiana® Permanent Birth Control
If you have completed your family, you can take control with Hysteroscopic Sterilization. Essure® and Adiana® are the most effective protection available to a woman against an unplanned pregnancy. The incision free placement of the tubal micro-inserts takes only 10 minutes, with most women returning to regular activities the next day. Surprisingly despite all the available methods for contraception, over half the pregnancies conceived in the United States are unplanned. Even when used correctly birth control pills fail 5% and condoms 15%, per year. Are you comfortable with this risk of having an unplanned pregnancy? If you or someone you know has completed their family and is considering a form of permanent birth control, such as tubal ligation or a partner’s vasectomy, we would like to educate you about the Hysteroscopic Sterilization. Hysteroscopic Sterilization is different from the traditional method of surgery called tubal ligation. There is no cutting into the body. Instead, your doctor inserts a thin scope through your body’s natural pathway of the vagina and into the uterus, where the openings to the fallopian tubes can be seen. Micro-inserts are placed into your fallopian tubes blocking them. Since most women only report mild cramps, you have the choice of having the procedure performed without general anesthesia. In fact, many women choose to have their Hysteroscopic Sterilization performed in the convenience of our office. Most women only experience mild cramps afterwards and return to their regular activities the following day. The doctors at Women's Health Specialists were the first to perform Essure® and Adiana® in our community, and serve as instructors for other doctors desiring to learn the office-based procedure.
During the first 3 months following Hysteroscopic Sterilization, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a tissue barrier that permanently prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this time, you will need to use another form of birth control. Then you will have a special type of x-ray test to confirm that your tubes are completely blocked and you can rely solely on Essure® or Adiana® for birth control.
Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, injections, and some forms of IUDs, Hysteroscopic Sterilization does not contain hormones that interfere with your natural menstrual cycle. Your periods should more or less continue in their natural state. Clinical studies have shown Hysteroscopic Sterilization to be over 99% effective at preventing an unplanned pregnancy, surpassing traditional tubal ligation. Consequently, it is not surprising that Hysteroscopic Sterilization is quickly becoming the preferred method for women seeking permanent birth control; because of far less risks, discomfort, and downtime. If you’re certain about your future this allows you to take control of your body. Breakthrough Birth Control Procedure - The Doctors TV Show
