Essure Permanent Birth Control Offers Safe, Effective Option for Women

Feb 28, 2011 by Dr. Nathan Mordel, M.D.

Essure Permanent Birth Control is a procedure that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy. The Essure procedure requires no cutting, general anesthesia, hormones or recovery time. The Essure inserts are passed through the body’s natural pathways and inserted into the fallopian tubes. Unlike other forms of permanent birth control, there is no cutting into the body, burning, or destruction of the fallopian tubes through the use of radiofrequency energy. Unlike other temporary methods of birth control such as birth control pills, the patch, the ring and some IUDs, the Essure inserts do not contain hormones so they will not interfere with your monthly cycle.

Essure Permanent Birth Control is 99.74% effective, making it the most effective method of permanent birth control. It is the only birth control method with zero pregnancies in clinical trials. Because there is no cutting or anesthesia required, the Essure procedure can be performed by Dr. Nathan Mordel and Dr. Heather Gibbons-Doig in the comfort of our Atlanta office. The entire procedure takes less than ten minutes and women are back to work or can resume normal activities within 24-hours.

The Essure procedure is covered by most insurance providers and may be as low as a simple co-pay. For more information about coverage or to schedule an appointment, call AMIGS at (404) 355-4885.
