Essure
|
|
Unlike other permanent birth control, the Essure procedure does not require cutting
into the body or the use of radiofrequency energy to burn the fallopian tubes. Instead,
an Essure trained doctor inserts soft, flexible inserts through the body’s natural
pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes. The very tip
of the device remains outside the fallopian tube, which provides you and your doctor
with immediate visual confirmation of placement.

Adiana
|
|
Adiana Permanent Contraception is a simple, safe, minimally invasive procedure that
permanently prevents pregnancy. It works by stimulating your body's own tissue to
grow in and around tiny, soft inserts that are placed inside your fallopian tubes.
Once your tubes are completely blocked, your eggs can no longer become fertilized
and you can rely on Adiana Permanent Contraception for birth control.

Gardasil
|
|
GARDASIL is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against 4 types

and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. GARDASIL is for girls and
young women ages 9 to 26.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, and does not prevent all types of cervical
cancer, so it’s important to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL
does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL will not protect.
