3. Essure
Just like the IUD, Essure, the number three on our list of easiest forms of permanent birth control for men and women is a non-surgical procedure that can be done right in your doctor’s office, in which a flexible insert or small metal springs will be placed in each of the fallopian tubes. Unlike the IUD, Essure is an entirely permanent, irreversible procedure. After the insertion procedure, a backup form of birth control must be used until the Essure Confirmation Test can be performed. This guarantees that the procedure has indeed served its purpose effectively. Side-effects include light vaginal bleeding and cramping. Some women have had to undergo surgery to remove faulty or incorrectly-inserted devices. Be open to routine check-ups to ensure that your device is placed and functioning properly.
