About Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome and Tubal Reversal
Before my tubal reversal, I would get cyclic migraines - they only started happening after my tubal ligation. Two days before my period started, I would be down with a migraine, and it would last until a few days after the bleeding had stopped. This went on for 12 yrs. Along with that, I would experience horrible leg and back pain, my bleeding would last 7-9 days with heavy clotting and terrible cramps that otc meds didn't ease. There were other lesser symptoms - hair loss, weight gain, etc. I had my TR Sept 04 - my very next cycle took me by surprise, as there was no migraine to warn of the impending start. I have not had a migraine since. No more leg or back pain - my actual bleeding went from over a week of heavy flow/clotting to two days of heavy flow and three days of light flow. Very little clotting, and only mild cramps the first day. My hair is again thick. No more leg or back pain either. I suffered for 12 yrs, the docs were unable to explain what was wrong - it was suggested that I go on BC (how ridiculous to have to take bc after being sterilized!). Many docs do not believe in PTLS - many more women all complain of the exact same symptoms all starting after TL. Sorry, but I just do not trust the doctors on this issue. They do not warn of the possible after effects, they brush us off afterwards when we start having problems.
What Happens to Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome After Tubal Reversal?
Tubal Reversal Message Board members discuss the difference in their symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome before and after tubal reversal surgery. One members states, "I had my tubal reversal due to PTLS. I had a lot of bad symptoms. Mine were fits of rage, no sex drive, could not sleep, weight gain, hair loss, depressed (never was before), terrible long AF's. I had the tubal reversal in 3/06 and by the time of my first cycle most of them were gone. I was much better and my family saw a huge difference in me without me even asking around 3 months. My first AF cycle was back to pre-TL. I was very fortunate that my surgery was a complete success and this happened for me very soon after TR." Another reports, "It takes about a full cycle and you'll notice the difference. I don't know how it works or why, but it works. It's truly amazing."
