Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Preparing for your initial appointment

If you think Essure might be right for you, schedule a consultation with an Essure-certified doctor. This consultation is an opportunity to educate yourself about Essure and ask questions. Use the following list as a starting point and add any questions of your own:

Do you perform the Essure procedure here in your office?
How long does it take you to perform the Essure procedure?
Will I need medications before, during or after the procedure? If so, which ones do you recommend?
What can I expect on the day of the procedure?
Do I need any special preparations the night before or morning of the procedure?
Is there a recovery period with Essure? What can I expect?
Can I drive myself home after the procedure?
What will be my options if both inserts cannot be placed on my first visit?
Who will perform my Essure Confirmation Test and how should I schedule it?
Can I continue using my current birth control during the three months between the procedure and the Essure Confirmation Test?
Tell me about your other patients’ experiences with Essure.
