Essure

Essure is a permanent birth control method for women. It involves a small device inserted into the fallopian tubes through the cervix and uterus. Over a few months, tissues grow around the device, blocking the tubes and preventing eggs from reaching the sperm, thus preventing pregnancy. It’s done without surgery, typically as an outpatient procedure. While highly effective, Essure has faced reports of side effects and safety concerns, leading to its discontinuation in some markets. Women considering Essure should consult their healthcare provider to discuss benefits, risks, and alternative contraceptive options.
