How does Adiana Permanent Contraception work?

Adiana Permanent Contraception: the safe, simple, minimally invasive option for permanent birth control 

Adiana Permanent Contraception is a minimally invasive procedure that provides protection from 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.

Here's how Adiana Permanent Contraception works:

There are four simple steps to the Adiana procedure:

Step 1: A slender, flexible instrument (delivery catheter) is passed through the body's natural openings (i.e., through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus) to deliver a low level of radiofrequency energy (i.e., energy that generates heat to create a superficial lesion) to a small section of each fallopian tube.

Step 2: A tiny, soft insert - about the size of a grain of rice - is placed in each of your fallopian tubes, right where the energy was applied.

Step 3: You must use another form of birth control over the next 3 months, while new tissue grows in and around the Adiana inserts, eventually blocking your fallopian tubes.

Step 4: At 3 months, a special test is performed (hysterosalpingogram or HSG) to confirm that your tubes are fully blocked. This test will ensure that the procedure has been successful.

Congratulations!
You are well on your way to enjoying a lifetime of freedom from the worries and hassles of temporary birth control. Now that you've had the Adiana procedure, here's what you can expect next:

The first 3 months after the procedure:

• Over these next 3 months, your body will be going through a natural healing process. In the area where the energy was applied, new tissue will begin to grow through and around the Adiana inserts that have been placed in your fallopian tubes. It takes at least 3 months for this tissue to completely block your tubes.
• During this 3-month waiting time, you are still fertile. It is very important that you use another form of birth control during this time, since getting pregnant now could result in an ectopic pregnancy - a pregnancy outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube-which could be extremely dangerous and even life - threatening for you.

At 3 months, it's time for your Adiana HSG (hysterosalpingogram) Confirmation Test

• Three months after you've had the procedure, you will have an HSG (hysterosalpingogram), during which your uterus will be filled with a contrast fluid (a dye that shows up in x-rays). Several x-rays are then taken of your uterus. Your doctor will study the images to make sure that the dye does not enter the fallopian tubes. This is how your doctor will know if your tubes are completely blocked.
• After your Adiana HSG is completed and your doctor confirms that your tubes are completely blocked, you can rely on Adiana Permanent Contraception for pregnancy prevention. You will not need to use any other form of birth control, since you can no longer become pregnant.

Beyond 3 months

Consider yourself free!
After the Adiana HSG confirms that your tubes are completely blocked, you will not need to use another form of birth control any longer. You can rely on the Adiana inserts for permanent contraception.
You should not have any symptoms remaining from the procedure. The only things remaining in your body are the two soft inserts, which your own body tissue has grown into and around. Also, your menstrual cycle should have returned to what is normal for you.
Remember, the Adiana procedure is permanent and cannot be reversed. The new tissue blocking your fallopian tubes is expected to prevent pregnancy for the rest of your life.
