Do You Have These Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Symptoms?
Have you had a tubal ligation? Have you had weird things happening to your body? And no matter how many trips you make to the doctor nor how many tests she runs, you still don't have a diagnosis...or one that makes any real sense. If so, then it's possible that you are suffering from the symptoms of post tubal ligation syndrome. Others call is post tubal syndrome.
You may have run into it with your own doctor or you may have learned about it while researching the Internet trying to find out just what is wrong with you, but you probably have heard that most doctors believe ptls to be a medical myth. However, since you have been looking you have probably found sites that list anywhere from 35 to 45 different symptoms. In this article, I'm going to relate the symptoms learned first hand from the women who are suffering from them.
Take for instance the case of Brenda. Her complaints began with feeling numb in the pelvic area, a sensation which did not improve over time as she thought it would after surgery. She also had hot flashes and night sweats, fatigue, depression, mood swings, bad cramps, and heavier bleeding. Her libido dropped away. Loss of libido is a very common complaint. Of the night sweats, she said she would wake up with her nightgown stuck to her and soaking wet. I don't think we can put it down to aging and menopause as she was only 33.
Amanda told me her symptoms from post tubal ligation syndrome included mood swings and terrible depression. She also began spotting mid cycle. She had heavy periods, extreme fatigue, terrible migraines, and loss of libido. She finally went to her doctor expecting to be put on antidepressants. However, the doctor wanted to put her on birth control. Her doctor said, "Most women end up on birth control after a tubal ligation to regulate their hormones." Would you have had one if you knew you were still going to need to be on birth control still? But fortunately that is only one solution and not necessarily the best.
On the http://forums.tubal-reversal.net/ message board, courtnipadortni told us about her post tubal ligation syndrome symptoms. These included loss of libido, weight gain, memory loss, short temper, and bad period pains. Maybe some of these could be put down to aging as we all know it gets harder to lose weight the older you get. However, when measured against all the stories of other women who suffer through ptls, it's hard to draw the line.
Skate is another woman suffering from what begins to seem like the same list over and over. She has loss of libido, migraines, anxiety off the charts, and weight gain. Her periods are longer and harder and have clotting and painful, absurd uncontrollable bleeding. It makes it difficult to be in society with these type of symptoms not to mention the suffering the your family must endure as well.
Maybe this is the first time you have heard about this syndrome and been able to put a name to what you have been suffering yourself. If you are finding that the above stories of symptoms of post tubal ligation syndrome seem to be like what you are suffering, then you should seek support with others who have gone through the same as you. Do some research online if you need more information about it as well. Check out just what can be done to help relieve some of these symptoms.
