Can having your tubes tied cause early menopause?

Has anyone ever heard of having your tubes tied causing early menopausal symptoms?

[PerimenoWorried]

Tubal ligation should not cause menopause in an of itself BUT, there is a temporary sydrome that comes along with tubal ligation that can create/cause menopausal symptoms.  It is usually short lived and goes away on its own.  

You haven't mentioned your age but, I'm assuming that you're not within perimenopausal ranges such as late 30's or 40's and up?  If you are in that range, you *MAY* be experiencing some early menopausal symptoms.  If you're not in that age group, it's likely a temporary situation.  Talk to your doc about it if it's bothersome.  Some docs don't recognize the post-tubal ligation sydrome but, it does exist.  :)

I had my tubes tied 8 years ago and I am now 43.  I have been experiencing symptoms of Menopause.  Hot flashes, night sweats, my hair is thinning and I feel like I am going crazy.  I have been to the doctor and they say it is Perimenopause???  WTF I am miserable.  I am trying all the natural remedies starting this week.  Had I known this was a possibility I would not have tied my tubes!!!

FWIW, I had my tubes tied at 31 and didn't start menopause until age 50. However my mother started menopause in her mid-30s (she did not have a ligation) and my sister had a complete hysterectomy at age 40 due to heavy perimenopausal bleeding. With my family history I'm surprised I went this long before starting it!

Look at your family history - do the women tend to start early? Did you start your period before age 12?

Now that I think of it, I've had several surgeries and sometimes I've experienced hot flashes and night sweats for a while afterward, but it was temporary.

I had my hysterectomy just over two years ago. I kept my ovaries, but it seems that they went on "strike" shortly after the surgery. Menopause hit me like a freight train!

Then again, I shouldn't have been surprised, at my age it would have happened within a few years anyway.

After my last child was born I had my tubes tied. I was 30 years old. From the first month after having my tubes tied I noticed my periods were irregular. I started feeling different. I was more moody, foggy thoughts, cried a lot, felt kind of depressed but no hot flashes. I reported it to my Dr. He said that it was normal and to give my hormones time to get back to normal. Well, the symptoms continued. I adjusted to the irregular periods. I would spot for a few days then nothing, two, or three days later I would have a regular flow. Some months I would have two periods in one month. I again would report my symptoms to the nurse and Dr. but no tests were ordered. All they would say is that I may be going through early menopause. By the time I was 35 years I had stopped having periods. I am 53 years old now. I don't suffer from hot flashes, really never did, I don't cry for no reason anymore, and haven't in years. So I believe 100% that having a tubal sent me into early menopause. My mother was in her late 40's when she started menopause. I really don't think me going through an early menopause after I had my tubes tied was a coincidence. I had no symptoms before the tubal.

I had my tubes tied 2 years ago, within the last 2 months I have been very moody, hot flashes, and night sweats. I feel like I am going crazy but I was told I could be probably going through menopause. Are you serious, at 28?
