Surgical Problems: Nope. It would be highly unlikely to be allergic to the metal in clamps used during surgery. It is always better here to not pre-judge you diagnosis and to provide us with what your symptoms are specifically.

Question 5

since tubal libation had problems have all symptoms of ptls. how is post tubal ligation syndrome treated?

Question 6

i had a tubal done 2/3 years ago and noticed i have every system of post tubal ligation syndrome since after i had it done i was wondering does it go away bc its been 3 years and i still have the every symptom?

Accepted Answer

: Firstly, has your gynecologist documented that your symptoms are characteristic of post tubal ligation syndrome¬ due to other conditions like endometriosis or uterine polyps? If he/she has, it's possible that some degree of ovarian changes and,possibly, hormonal disruptions occurred after your tubes were tied. Discuss this situation in more depth with your gynecologist who may suggest some trea

Question 7

what is a real cure for all post tubal  ligation symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone : I have had great success with using natural Progesterone or other simple hormone support methods for the rare woman who develops post-tubal ligation syndrome.

Question 8

what symptoms after a tubal ligation would you suggest it be reversed?! i have had horrible bleeding that last 7-10 days then start 4-7 days later

Accepted Answer

Excessive bleeding: Excessive bleeding post tubal ligation is a good reason to see a GYN MD and make sure that there isn't another GYN problem causing this issue first and foremost. If there isn't then unfortunately your options include endometrial ablation or hysterectomy rather than tubal reversal which is expensive and not a guarantee of bleeding cessation success.

Question 9

does post tubal ligation syndrome really exist? will a reversal absolve the symptoms?  my ob doesn't believe me, i've been suffering since.

Accepted Answer

Adhesions : Please see a second opinion consult with general surgery. Studies show that adhesions between intestines sometimes happen after surgery and can cause abdominal pain. You need a full history and physical with vital signs and an exam to rule out several possible problems and probably some imaging to non invasively look at your problem.

Question 10

i want to know what can i do about my post tubal ligation bleeding and spotting thats been going on for 5 months and i have symptoms that came with it?

Accepted Answer

Options available: Assuming you have been evaluated by your MD and you are not bleeding because of an abnormal condition, such as fibroids, adenomyosis, hyperplasia, then the bleeding can be treated medically with hormones (such as birth control pills, Depo Provera, (medroxyprogesterone) to name a few), or surgically by burning the lining of the uterus by a procedure called endometrial ablation. If all fails, hysterectomy can be done.
