Since there have been reports about post tubal ligation syndrome going back to the 1950s, you could wonder why it seems like no one is interested in helping. If you have been looking line for some help in figuring out what is causing your symptoms, you have probably learned this. It makes you wonder just what is happening.
So, again, why is nothing being done for the most part. Let's use an article from medicinenet.com as a source of information on why. The article says a Dr. Stephen Corson and other doctors simply think the cause is due to aging and not using birth control pills any more. In fact the article says Dr. Corson counsels women to go off birth control pills for several months before having their tubes tied.
What is really strange about this conclusion is that so many women simply don't fit into this category. However, no mention of this is made in the article so one is left wondering how the doctor explains symptoms in women who were in their 20s when they had a tubal ligation and started suffering from Post Tubal Syndrome, as it is also called, during the same decade of life. Nor does it explain the many women who had tubals done right after delivering a child. That means they weren't on birth control of any kind.
Amber was 22 when she had her tubes tied. She had her baby about 0300 a.m. and was wheeled to her tubal ligation about 0800 the same morning. Looks like neither aging nor birth control pills are factors here for the suffering Amber went through. So her menopause type symptoms, among others, were not due to menopause, not at 22.
Now Skate is another case of a woman who had a tubal ligation surgery performed after the birth of her child in 2002. Although told the symptoms she suffered must be menopause, she simply did not buy it. After all, her mom didn't go through menopause till she was in her 50s and Skate's two older sisters still haven't gone through it yet, either.
Now let's look at Rebecca who had her surgery at the birth of her child as well. She even signed the papers for the surgery while in hard labor after having an epidural. Not exactly the best timing, I'm thinking, for clear cool reasoning nor being told about any side effects. But then most doctors don't believe ptls to be real. As Rebecca was only 33, I don't believe putting the post tubal ligation syndrome effects down to aging is a realistic answer either. Poor Rebecca thought she was going into early menopause at 33 due to some of the symptoms she suffered.
If we go back to the article from medicinenet.com, you can read that many women are put onto birth control after the tubal ligation surgery to control the symptoms they experience. Seems rather a strange way to do things. Isn't tubal ligation supposed to be birth control? But the women still have to take pills to control symptoms that are side effects of the surgery? Well, certainly that proves that birth control pills, or more precisely going off them after the surgery, are the cause of all the symptoms.
However, birth control is not the only option open to women who suffer. Two other alternatives include more surgery. One is to have a hysterectomy which will have its own effects on your body. The other is to have a tubal reversal done. You will have to look hard to find a really good doctor who is truly qualified to perform that operation but you may find it is the best option for you to remove the pain of post tubal ligation syndrome.
