Tubal Ligation Side Effects

Are you suffering from tubal ligation side effects? Of course, first off you would have to have had your tubes tied for this to be the cause of what is happening to you. As we can assume you wouldn't be questioning these things being side effects of tubal ligation if you hadn't had your tubes tied, then we can proceed with the knowledge that you did indeed have a tubal.

So what are these side effects you may be suffering from? While many women complain of much heavier bleeding, severe cramping, fatigue, loss of libido and hot flashes, these are not the only symptoms you may suffer. So just because yours doesn't fall in that list doesn't mean it's not one of the side effects of tubal ligation.

If you have gone to your doctor complaining and questioning your symptoms and that they may be related to having your tubes tied, you might have been met with skepticism. You might be told that your body is just getting older or these problems are a result of the stress in your busy life. Many women have been told flat out that there are no side effects to tubal ligation and that they need to seek counseling or take medications for depression.

However, there are the doctors who believe that the side effects of tubal ligation are really nothing more than what happens because a woman has gone off the birth control pill. Maybe that's the case for some of the women. The pill has been regulating their hormones, they get their tubes tied, and go off birth control pills only to no longer have it regulating their hormones which causes some changes to their bodies.

The problem with that assumption is the many, many women who suffer from tubal ligation side effects and had a tubal at or right after the birth of their last child. On the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board, you can find case after case of this. This means going off birth control pills is not the cause of their tubal ligation syndrome.

Birth control pills can be the answer to these symptoms for some women. One woman's doctor finally prescribed the pill for her and told her that most women end up on birth control after their tubal in order to regulate their hormones. But that's not the only alternative.

The other alternative is having a hysterectomy. One source says that women who have had a tubal are over 3 times as likely to end up with a hysterectomy later on. Even then, you will suffer some other effects taking this course such as going through menopausal symptoms.

A last alternative is a ligation reversal. If you should choose this course, you will want to find a doctor or facility where ligation reversal is all that is done. After all, if you have cancer you want a cancer specialist taking care of you, not one who splits his time and knowledge into other fields.

The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center even did a small population study on the results for women undergoing ligation reversal to counteract their tubal ligation side effects. In that study, there was a 90% success rate for relieving the symptoms of post tubal ligation syndrome. If you want to relieve yours, you should highly consider seeking out these doctors and having them do your ligation reversal.
