Post tubal ligation syndrome is the name applied to all those different symptoms you have been suffering since having your tubes tied. At least, if you have run across this article, most likely that is what you are interested in learning about. Many times it is simply known by the initials PTLS or PTS.

Although many in the medical establishment believe PTLS to be nonsense, the things the women who are suffering from it go through are not myth. Doing research on the Internet could lead you to lists containing 35 up to 45 different symptoms. However, there seem to be some very consistent ones shared by most women who suffer from this medical myth as you will see in our following stories.

Take for instance the case of Brenda. Her complaints began with feeling numb in the pelvic area, a sensation which did not improve over time as she thought it would after surgery. She also had hot flashes and night sweats, fatigue, depression, mood swings, bad cramps, and heavier bleeding. Her libido dropped away. Loss of libido is a very common complaint. Of the night sweats, she said she would wake up with her nightgown stuck to her and soaking wet. I don't think we can put it down to aging and menopause as she was only 33.

Tracy complains of being fatigued a lot and having no interest in sex. She couldn't sleep and just stayed tires all the time. Her periods went crazy. What had once been like clockwork became longer, much more intense with heavy bleeding and clotting, then trail off only to start again a day later. She had bad cramps as well. Her other symptoms included occasional dizziness, a memory that got worse, feeling like she was in a fog all the time, headaches, hair breaking and fingernails cracking, tingling in her extremities and acne.

Amber was another young lady who suffers from pts in her 20s. She has no sex drive, hair loss, and an irregular period. Seems that these are major symptoms that we run into over and over again. I don't think the doctors can put these down to aging as Amber is only in her mid 20s at the time of writing this article.

Skate is another woman suffering from what begins to seem like the same list over and over. She has loss of libido, migraines, anxiety off the charts, and weight gain. Her periods are longer and harder and have clotting and painful, absurd uncontrollable bleeding. It makes it difficult to be in society with these type of symptoms not to mention the suffering the your family must endure as well.

Maybe this is the first time you have heard about this syndrome and been able to put a name to what you have been suffering yourself.
