A member asked:

I had a tubal ligation and now having painful and extremely heavy periods. also sharp pain on ovaries. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal for tubal: Tubal ligations are noted for producing heavy periods post procedure, due to the interruption of a vein that runs between the uterus and Fallopian tubes. Talk to your MD and make sure that it is not a tubal pregnancy. which can occur if the tube goes around the obstruction(recanalizes) or was not completely closed initially.
