Contraception with the NovaSure Procedure

Will I need contraception after the NovaSure procedure?

YES. It is important to know that it is still possible to become pregnant after a NovaSure® procedure.

Pregnancy following endometrial ablation is very dangerous for both the mother and the fetus so before you have the NovaSure procedure you should talk to your doctor about getting a form of permanent contraception.

Traditionally, procedures for permanent contraception have required incisions and long recovery times. However, thanks to Hologic, the same company that brings you NovaSure, now there is safe, simple Adiana® Permanent Contraception, a minimally invasive procedure that will permanently prevent pregnancy. With Adiana, once your tubes are completely blocked, sperm can no longer reach the eggs released by your ovaries and you can rely on Adiana for birth control.

What is Adiana Permanent Contraception?

Adiana Permanent Contraception is a 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. Adiana is considered as effective as tubal ligation in preventing pregnancy but with the Adiana procedure there are no incisions, no general anesthesia, no scars, and no lengthy recovery afterward.

Why choose Adiana Permanent Contraception?

  • It’s permanent
  • It’s safe
  • It’s effective
  • It requires no incisions
  • It uses no hormones or drugs
  • It can be performed in a doctor’s office, with no general anesthesia
  • It has a quick recovery period
