What Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Symptoms Do You Have?
June 24, 2008 – 6:30 amHave 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.
Regardless of whether or not the medical community as a whole believes in ptls or not, you still are having problems. No doubt you have been researching on the web and learned about some of the different symptoms associated with this syndrome. Below you will find a few first hand accounts of the symptoms some suffering women have gone through probably just like you.
For Miranda it all started with pain around her hips. Then she started having messed up periods. Whereas before they used to be five days long, she was now still spotting two weeks later. She had loss of energy, headaches and she was losing her hair. How horrible to start worrying about hair loss in your 20s.
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.
The same general symptoms seem to be shared by many of the women. Rebecca became extremely angry and had emotional outbursts. She also suffered from terrible cramping, headaches and a loss of libido. These last two plus the mood swings seem to show up in many of the stories of post tubal ligation syndrome women.
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.
