How Does Essue Work

I insert soft, flexible micro-inserts into the fallopian tubes.  No incision is needed because these tiny inserts are delivered through the vagina and cervix.

Over the next several weeks, a natural barrier forms around the micro-inserts and prevents sperm from reaching the eggs.  The ovaries will continue to release eggs, but they will be absorbed back into the body.

After three months, it’s time to get a confirmation test to verify that you’re protected from the worries of an unplanned pregnancy.  The test uses a dye and special type of x-ray to ensure that the fallopian tubes are blocked.  Until that time, you must continue using another form of birth control.
