Adiana Permanent Contraception is right for many women, but not all.

You should not consider Adiana Permanent Contraception or any form of permanent contraception if you:

  • Think there may be any chance you would want children in the future.
  • Are in a time of stress, such as after a divorce or breakup, miscarriage, injury, loss of a job, or any traumatic experience.
  • Are feeling pressured into the decision by anyone else.

Some women cannot use Adiana Permanent Contraception because of certain medical conditions. You can NOT have the Adiana procedure if you:

  • Have already had a tubal ligation ("had your tubes tied").
  • Are taking immunosuppressive medicines (any drugs that prevent or block the activity of your body's natural defenses).
  • Have an allergy to contrast fluid (the fluid used in the 3-month Adiana Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) Confirmation Test).
  • Have something abnormal about your uterus that could prevent your doctor from performing the procedure.
  • Cannot have the procedure done in both fallopian tubes (even if one tube is thought to be blocked or you have only one tube).
  • Have any personal doubts about ending your fertility.

You must delay having the Adiana procedure if you:

  • Are pregnant, or suspect you might be pregnant.
  • Have been pregnant or given birth in the last 3 months.
  • Now have clinical evidence of a pelvic infection, or recently had a pelvic infection.

Your doctor can explain all the medical factors involved, including the benefits and risks of the procedure.
