Your Birth Control Caused Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome?

By: Sandra Wilson Since there have been reports about post tubal ligation syndrome going back to the 1950s, you could wonder why it seems like no one is interested in helping. If you have been looking line for some help in figuring out what is causing your symptoms, you have probably learned this. It makes you wonder just what is happening.

So, again, why is nothing being done for the most part. Let's use an article from medicinenet.com as a source of information on why. The article says a Dr. Stephen Corson and other doctors simply think the cause is due to aging and not using birth control pills any more. In fact the article says Dr. Corson counsels women to go off birth control pills for several months before having their tubes tied.

The problem with this type of conclusion is that it does not take into account all the women who don't fit but who still suffer. Maybe the doctors are correct that indeed, for some women, this is the cause - getting old or stopping birth control pills. But what about those for whom neither situation fits? What about the women in their 20s and 30s who had their tubes tied and suffer these problems? Well, maybe going off birth control pills would fit for them except...what about the ones who were pregnant and had their tubes tied right after delivering a baby?

For instance we have the case of Tracy who had a "baby oops" after her planned two children. Figuring they had three healthy children and because her husband wanted a sure thing for birth control, she had her tubes tied when she delivered her third child by C-section. Tracy is older, having the last child at 40, so maybe the aging could have some effect, but certainly not to the extent she has suffered. And birth control pills play no part as you can readily see.

Now Skate is another case of a woman who had a tubal ligation surgery performed after the birth of her child in 2002. Although told the symptoms she suffered must be menopause, she simply did not buy it. After all, her mom didn't go through menopause till she was in her 50s and Skate's two older sisters still haven't gone through it yet, either.

Christie was in her very early 30s when she had her tubal ligation surgery after the birth of her son. It was the morning after he was born. Looks again like we can rule out birth control pills, or any kind of birth control, as being the cause of her post tubal ligation syndrome. Her doctor, after four and a half years of her suffering and trying to get his help, tried to tell her she was just getting older...at 36! But with her tubal reversal in 2006, her life has returned. She considers her recovery to be a 100% success story.

I am grateful to the women who allowed me to share their stories with you on this subject. As you can see, there are women who don't fit the mold of what many doctors believe to be the reason behind ptls. So what are these women to do? One thing they are prescribed for their symptoms just might surprise you. It is birth control pills. But taking birth control pills long term can have its own side effects.

However, birth control is not the only option open to women who suffer. Two other alternatives include more surgery. One is to have a hysterectomy which will have its own effects on your body. The other is to have a tubal reversal done. You will have to look hard to find a really good doctor who is truly qualified to perform that operation but you may find it is the best option for you to remove the pain of post tubal ligation syndrome.
