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.

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.

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.

I am grateful to the women who allowed me to share their stories with you on this subject. As you can see, there are women who don't fit the mold of what many doctors believe to be the reason behind ptls. So what are these women to do? One thing they are prescribed for their symptoms just might surprise you. It is birth control pills. But taking birth control pills long term can have its own side effects.

What if you don't want to live the rest of your life, or until real menopause, on birth control. There are two other alternatives from which you can choose instead of just suffering from post tubal ligation syndrome. But both involve more surgery. The first is a hysterectomy with its own possible side effects. Please research this further if you choose to pursue it. The other is having a tubal ligation reversal done. Find the best surgeon to do this and chances are you find your life coming back to you.
