Why NovaSure? Why Adiana? Do I need both?

NovaSure® is a procedure to cure heavy menstrual bleeding. If you are done having children, and you want a low-risk solution to your heavy periods, then this five-minute ablation is for you.

While the chances of becoming pregnant after Novasure® are minimal, it is still possible. That’s why we combine it with Adiana® permanent contraception.

Adiana® is permanent birth control. Tiny inserts are placed in the fallopian tubes, stimulating the body’s own tissues to grow in and around the inserts, thereby preventing pregnancy. Adiana® is a trusted form of permanent birth control for women who are finished having children.

For women seeking treatment for heavy periods and permanent birth control, we perform Adiana® first and then schedule the Novasure® procedure about three months later.
