Tubal reversal surgery can have more than one function. While most women use it to reverse their tubal ligations, there are some women who seek it out in order to get relief. And that is not relief of any guilt feelings that some may experience upon having their tubes tied. No, it is relief of the symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.
Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome, or PTLS, is one of those nasty little things that happen to some women who get their fallopian tubes tied. There’s some argument as to its cause among those medical professionals who believe it exists. Perhaps the bad thing is that many medical professionals don’t believe it exists.
And that can make it hard on a woman who is suffering from several of the possible symptoms. You have excessive bleeding, longer duration bleeding, severe headaches, hot flashes, mood swings, terrible cramps bad enough to keep you in bed, and loss of libido. Going to your doctor to seek help won’t do you any good. Why? Because you’re likely as not to have a doctor of the unbelieving persuasion who tells you anything from you just have to live with it to suggesting you seek a mental health professional to help you with your obviously overworked imagination. OK, I exaggerated a little with the last to make a point.
However, you might be lucky and have a doctor who will put you onto birth control pills to try and mediate your symptoms. Uh, didn’t you have a tubal ligation so you didn’t have to worry with taking pills? Sometimes they help. Sometimes not.
Or your doctor might suggest you are simply entering menopause early. Yeah, right! At 33 or even younger, you are entering menopause.
Then there’s the doctors who want to fix your Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome with surgery to remove your uterus and ovaries. Yes, we’re talking a hysterectomy here. In fact, women who have tubal ligation have a much higher chance of having a hysterectomy later than the normal population. Wow! Two surgeries to try to fix things. Too bad you don’t get two for the price of one.
However, there is one thing you can try to relieve your PTLS and that is a tubal reversal. Since this is a tubal reversal, or more precisely a sterilization reversal, site you knew that was coming. In one small study conducted by a leading tubal ligation reversal doctor with his patients, he found about 90% had relief from their post tubal ligation syndrome symptoms. You can find the news about the study here: http://press.tubal-reversal.net/2008/post-tubal-ligation-syndrome.html.
In another post we’ll put together a list of some of the most common symptoms of post tubal ligation syndrome. In the meantime, if you are suffering from this syndrome, you may find your best option for relief lies with a tubal ligation reversal doctor.
