I'm 100 % sure this is what I have


PTS is an an iatrogenesis condition meaning "doctor-caused" or "doctor produced". Many women suffer PTS after having a tubal ligation.
The following is a list of symptoms that are associated with post tubal syndrome (PTS).
PTS is often the result of a rapid decline in estrogen levels due from the blood supply being damaged to the ovaries during the TL surgery. Depending on the damage to the veins and capillaries, blood volume to the ovaries may slightly decrease or can be eliminated completely (isolated ovarian syndrome, common with hysterectomy operations). Many of the symptoms of PTS are associated with having an estrogen/progesterone imbalance.
Other symptoms, such has heavy painful periods may be caused by a hormonal imbalance, could be caused by adenomyosis (bought on by uterus mussel and tissue being damaged, effected by the TL surgery impairing the blood supply to areas of that organ/mussel) or a combination of both.
Other theories of PST and the hormonal imbalance that results after a TL is that "target" or "receptor" cells that are important in the relay of hormonal messages are damaged, destroyed, and or removed during the TL surgery. It is derivable that these target or receptor cells are located within the fallopian tube.
With this in mind, it's possible for a woman to have both her ovaries still functioning to some degree (if blood supply was not damaged), have no major problems with her uterus (again if blood supply was not damaged to that organ), and still be experiencing a PTS in the from of a hormonal imbalance caused by change in her hormonal message relay system.

Symptoms of Post Tubal Syndrome

[Dragonfly]

I got my tubes tied 12 years ago. I don't recall having any negative symptoms from the surgery.

If the tubal ligation was successful, I don't understand this point:
Eptopic pregnancy or pregnancy (well known risk of tubals).

Unless I was pregnant and the fertilized egg was in the tube at the time of surgery, how would this occure?

Ricci, I know you are scheduled for a reversal. Could the same negative symptoms happen again?

[Ricci]

I been suffering this for years and its still happening
but this Im sure wouldn't affect every lady that had TL done

Apparently some of the symptoms should go away! (hopes)

Not sure but i doubt it .. (hopes)

Mine got done 14 yrs ago and started to get symptoms the last 2 years

That's exactly why I did not get my tubes tied this last pregnancy. My husband got a vasectomy instead.

Good luck!

Ricci are you getting the reversal? I wish the best for you! I know how bad you want another baby... I'll say a prayer.

When I had the baby two weeks ago, the nurse kept saying to me, you're getting a c-section, and a tubal... and I'm like "NO!!! Just a c-section, not a tubal" she kept saying it though... and I'm like "please stop saying i'm having a tubal, i wan't to have more kids, i DO NOT want a tubal! I was almost in tears... I went into the OR and I told my doctor that the nurse kept telling me I'm getting a tubal, when I'm not supposed to. He's like "I'm not giving you a tubal, we talked about it yesterday... I don't know why she has it in her head that you were getting a tubal.." I was freaking out, but i love my doc... he knew what was going on, the nurse didn't have a clue.

I would personally get depressed if I knew I could never have anymore kids. I plan to stop at 4, but I sill don't want a tubal. It seems so final. My bf can get clipped, he already said he would.

you know this is weird, because i have alot of those symptoms and just associated them with menopause. i did have an eptopic pregnancy in my late 30s and had to have my tube removed. very interesting, ricci. thanks for posting.

[Adrienne]

I hope everything goes okay! I know my mom had her tubes tied at 25 and a friend of mine did at 24 and as far as i know, they dont have any problems
