I also had the same issue. Was thinking of having a consultation with my doctors. Anyway you've helped me out. Thanks. |
Hi Paperpusher75,
It is very clear that doctors do not warn patients of the possible side effects associated with tubal ligation. There are many women who wish they had known about PTLS before even considering the ligation to begin with.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center surgeons are able to repair the fallopian tubes in 98% of all cases. There are of course ligations where the tubes are not repairable due to the damage done.
The fact of the matter is there are more than a handful of women that suffer with this syndrome BUT are also getting relief with tubal reversal surgery. I wish I had some type of remedy for you in the meantime but I have not found or heard of anything that works. What are you doing in the meantime? If you are having cramps maybe a heating pad? I know it's not much but it does help.
The best thing you can do while waiting to have your surgery is communicate with those that have been through this and have had the surgery. Educate yourself as much as possible on the facts and be your own advocate. It is your body and you know how you feel.
As far as your partner not being supportive..maybe show him how others have experienced the same situation? On the CHTRC website there are women who have faced the same thing and actually tell their stories. All of these women have taken the stand and want others to know the battle they too had to face.
In the meantime stay strong and I hope you can get this resolved as soon as possible! I have included a link to another womans story if you would like to read it.

well, i am not sold that it has to be done a right way to repair damage. i don't know if there is always damage to repair or that can be repaired. i know one dr who pushes that and charges $20 to $25,000 for reversal. please stay away from her, because she is only after money and not playing with a full deck. because she is out to lunch, it's hard to get real answers from drs you can trust. most drs do not believe in PTLS. one day women will march in the streets about this, i hope.
i have heard sometimes tubals kill messenger cells and they cannot send a signal to release eggs andymore. i don't think that can be repaired, don't know. some women get adhesions or endo, but regular reversal drs already know to look for stuff like that and they will remove it during the surgery is what i was always told when i researched clinics.

thanks, this gives hope to all those who ask the question will tubal reversal get rid of PTLS symptoms. it did for me, but only 3 months, so i am not the best advocate for it. but i believe women have to start with reversal to begin recovery. i am hoping they find something wrong, like my tubes are closed or something. that would explain why i went back into menopause in 3 months after the reversal.
you said: "I had the worst mood swings in my life,the worst periods and what sadness I felt over time about my decision! I was almost never happy ,snappy at people...I had become a monster that was out of control."
this is exactly what i have gone through twice now. it is so hard to explain to people. they just think you are a bad person in general. i finally had to take hormones. i take so much it bloats me and puts on weight. yeah, good idea these tubal ligations, makes you never want sex again!
