If you have had your tubes tied and then begin experiencing problems with your body, it could be you have post tubal ligation syndrome, also known by the initials PTLS. Others simply call it Post Tubal Syndrome or PTS.
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.
Among the stories I share her is the one of Shannon’s symptoms. She had a loss of libido, anxiety attacks, mood swings, weight gain, depression and acne. Her periods had turned awful. While they were only 7 days long, she was unable to leave her home for the first two days due to extremely heavy flow. Her words were that she felt on “the verge of hemorrhaging” with very large clots. She also had terrible pms.
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.
If you find while reading this article that these stories seem to sound just like what you are going through, then the first thing you may want to do is seek out some support. A search on the web will help you find a forum where others who suffer as you do congregate to provide that virtual shoulder to cry on. Further they may just help you find the information you need to find out what you can actually do for yourself to remedy, as much as possible, what you are going through with post tubal ligation syndrome.
