A newer procedure makes it possible to block the fallopian tubes without surgery. Small implants of metal or silicone are placed inside each tube. Scar tissue eventually grows around the implants and blocks the tubes. Once an X-ray confirms the tubes are blocked, no other form of birth control is needed.
Pros: Permanent, no surgery, almost 100% effective.
Cons: Takes a few months to become effective. May raise the risk of pelvic infections, irreversible, expensive.
