Essure is the first permanent birth control solution for a woman that does not require
surgery or incisions. Complete Heaqlthcare for Women is the first in provider int the
Central Ohio area to perform and introduce this innovative procedure to the medical
community.
Before the device can be used for contraception, you must have a follow-up visit with
your doctor, where you will undergo a test called a
hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to make sure your tubes are blocked and the micro-inserts are
in satisfactory locations. One of our providers will be able to explain the procedure to you
in more detail.
The procedure takes an average of 25 minutes to perform. Most patients resume regular activities
in one day. 92% of women are able to return to work the next day.
The Essure device is a new, permanent birth control method that does not require an incision or
general anesthesia.

As stated earlier, with Essure there is no cutting into the body. Instead, here at Complete Healthcare for Women, 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.
The procedure can be performed in your doctor’s office without general anesthesia.
During the first 3 months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a tissue barrier that
prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this period, you will need to use another form of birth control.
After 3 months, your doctor will perform an Essure Confirmation Test, a special type of x-ray to confirm that your tubes are
completely blocked and you can rely on the Essure micro-inserts for birth control.
Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural
menstrual cycle. Your periods should more or less continue in their natural state.
