New Permanent Birth Control Method Not As Effective

Tuesday, 22 April 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The Chicago Tribune details a new study on the effectiveness of a new permanent birth control method for women marketed under the brand name Essure. Researchers say that nearly 10% of women who undergo the sterilization procedure could still become pregnant. That’s nearly four times the risk of pregnancy that comes after the more traditional method of a laparoscopic tubal ligation.
