Essure is the first and only FDA approved permanent birth control procedure to have zero pregnancies in clinical trails. With Essure, Dr. Goodyear inserts spring-like coils, called micro-inserts, through the body’s natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes. There is absolutely no cutting or burning of your body during this procedure!

During the first three months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a tissue barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. After these three months, Dr. Goodyear will perform an Essure Confirmation Test, a special type of x-ray to confirm that your tubes are completely blocked and that you can rely on the Essure micro-inserts for birth control.

The benefits included:

- No cutting into the body so there are no unattractive scars.

- 99.80% effective (based on 4 years of clinical data)

- Quick return to normal activities

- This procedure is performed in-office with minimal anesthesia.

- No hormones or silicone to interfere with your body

o Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural menstrual cycle.

o Your periods should more or less continue in their normal state.

- Peace of mind with the Essure Confirmation Test.
