Why Doctors Won’t Help Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome Women

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.

Well, if the quotes and information provided from an article on post tubal ligation syndrome on medicinenet.com is to be believed, all these women are being ignored by the medical establishment as a whole simply because doctors (but not all) don’t believe ptls is real. Having done a study comparing hormone levels in women who have ptls symptoms and those who have not had a tubal ligation, Dr. Stephen Corson couldn’t find any difference. Because of this, or so the article implies, he thinks that post tubal syndrome is nothing more than women simply getting old or because they have stopped using birth control pills.

The problem with this type of conclusion is that it does not take into account all the women who don’t fit but who still suffer. Maybe the doctors are correct that indeed, for some women, this is the cause - getting old or stopping birth control pills. But what about those for whom neither situation fits? What about the women in their 20s and 30s who had their tubes tied and suffer these problems? Well, maybe going off birth control pills would fit for them except…what about the ones who were pregnant and had their tubes tied right after delivering a baby?

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.

Christie was in her very early 30s when she had her tubal ligation surgery after the birth of her son. It was the morning after he was born. Looks again like we can rule out birth control pills, or any kind of birth control, as being the cause of her post tubal ligation syndrome. Her doctor, after four and a half years of her suffering and trying to get his help, tried to tell her she was just getting older…at 36! But with her tubal reversal in 2006, her life has returned. She considers her recovery to be a 100% success story.

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.

But living on birth control pills to control the symptoms or just living with the symptoms are not the only choices available to post tubal ligation syndrome sufferers. One other option is having a hysterectomy. You should research this option and find out the side effects of it. The other option is to have things put back the way they were or as best as can be done. This is done via a tubal reversal. Do your research to find the best tubal reversal doctor you can.
