Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome is something that many question if it actually is real or not. Go to any medical question and answer website that has a women's issue section and I can bet you find at least one woman or man asking about it.
Is Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome real? Well, ask any woman who is living through it or ask a husband or partner of this woman. Those in the medical community do not technically recognize post Tubal Ligation Syndrome but there are physicians that do know it is real and happens.
Why is it not recognized? There are different theories for this. Some believe that the surgeons do know it is real but there is no enough evidence to prove it. Others feel it is because it is cheaper for the insurance companies to pay for the tubal ligation rather than pregnancy and well care after the birth.
Whether it is recognized is not the problem here. It is the women, men and families that are affected by PTLS. The woman is in a body that she feels she doesn't even recognize anymore. She has fits of rage and moods. She is short-tempered with her family. Before the ligation she was never like this. The words "slight cramps" are something of the past. The word "cramp" has now turned into pain, no more no less.
The monthly cycle shouldn't even have the name monthly attached to it. It is about three weeks of actual bleeding that leaves a woman exhausted and anemic or close to it.
The feelings that surround a woman while enduring the throes of PTLS are horrible. She is feeling guilt for being short-tempered, she is frustrated with herself for letting this happen to her. And she is lost at where to turn for help. Many physicians will tell a woman it is in her head or it has to do with age. Though many know this isn't the case.
When a woman goes to the physician many times they will tell her to begin using birth control pills and put her on antidepressants. What is this going to do and why birth control if she has had her tubes tied? Isn't that defeating the whole purpose?
For those women that have had their tubes tied and are going through this, you are not alone. And better yet, you are not nuts. There are women who are going through the same thing. There are women that are willing to talk to others about the trouble they had to get physicians to listen to them.
What did they do to get help and relief? They had tubal ligation reversal surgery. Did they get better? Yes, almost immediately they began to see the symptoms getting better and those that didn't disappear right away subsided gradually.
