Essure Sterilization
Essure is a permanent birth control device
that has recently become available as an
alternative to traditional tubal ligation
methods. The spring-like device is inserted
through the uterine cavity into the tubal
openings using a hysteroscope. This can be
done as an in-office procedure. The device
expands to fill the tubal opening and then
becomes scarred into place, forming a barrier
so that sperm cannot reach the egg. Because
of the scar formation, it cannot be pulled out of
the tube.
It is advertised by the manufacturer as a
permanent method of birth control. In this
respect, it is similar to other tubal ligation
methods that are considered by most doctors
to be permanent.

Gardisil HPV Vaccine
Genital HPV is a common virus that is passed on through genital contact, most often during sex. Most
sexually active people will get HPV at some time in their lives, though most will never even know it. It is
most common in people in their late teens and early 20s.
There are about 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of men and women. Most HPV types
cause no symptoms and go away on their own. But some types can cause cervical cancer in women
and other less common genital cancers— like cancers of the anus, vagina, and vulva (area around the
opening of the vagina). Other types of HPV can cause warts in the genital areas of men and women,
called genital warts. Genital warts are not a life-threatening disease. But they can cause emotional
stress and their treatment can be very uncomfortable.
Every year, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and almost 4,000 women die
from this disease in the U.S.
About 1% of sexually active adults in the U.S. (or 1 million people) have visible genital warts at any
point in time.
Who should get the HPV vaccine
The HPV vaccine is recommended for 11 and 12 year-old girls.1 It is also recommended for girls and
women age 13 through 26 years of age who have not yet been vaccinated or completed the vaccine
series.
1 Note: The vaccine can also be given to girls 9 or 10 years of age.

NovaSure is an endometrial ablation (EA) procedure that can reduce or stop menstrual bleeding. It
works by permanently removing the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus (the part that causes the
bleeding), with a quick delivery of radio frequency energy. As with any procedure you may experience
discomfort during or after the procedure. Be sure to inform your Doctor of any discomfort you maybe
experiencing.
