	ESSURE PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL

Women who want permanent birth control now have an alternative to tubal ligation. The Essure transcervical sterilization procedure was developed by Conceptus, approved by the FDA, and is locally available.

Essure does not require incisions and is performed under local anesthesia. 

A pair of tiny coils are inserted into the uterus through the cervix with a tiny scope. The coils are placed under direct guidance into the openings of the tubes and after 3 months will cause a blockage of the tubes so that pregnancy will not occur. A woman must be willing to use a back-up form of birth control during those months.

No fuss, no creams, no hormones or pills, and no incisions or general anesthesia!!!

For the 11 million women who rely on tubal ligation for permanent sterilization, this is a wonderful new and safer alternative.

Dr. Kratzert and Dr. Bebla offer this service and encourage anyone interested to e-mail the office for a consultation.
