essure

Essure may be right for you if you:

  • Are certain you do not want any more children
  • Want to stop worrying about unplanned pregnancy
  • Want to stop managing your temporary contraception method
  • Would like to stop taking hormone-based contraceptives
  • Want to avoid the incision, scarring or risks of other contraceptive procedures
  • Are concerned about general anaesthesia
  • Want to avoid the pain and recovery time of a tubal ligation
  • Want more spontaneity in your sexual relationship

You should delay your decision if you:

  • May want to have children in the future
  • Are pregnant or think you might be pregnant
  • Have been pregnant during the past six weeks
  • Have an active or recent pelvic infection
