Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome IS REAL!

Post tubal ligation syndrome (PTLS or PTS) is an an iatrogenesis condition meaning doctor-caused or doctor produced. Many women suffer post tubal ligation syndrome after having a tubal ligation.

Here is [URL=http://fittobeuntiedposttubaligationsyndrome.blogspot.com/]MY BLOG on Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome and Tubal Reversal Journey[/URL]
I can tell you 100% that this syndrome is real, I have lived it!. I have also had the reversal and am experiencing a excellent decline in symptoms even in 2 weeks! so check out the BLOG cause The updates will only get better.... Do I still have SOME issues right now? Yes. But, they have lessened so much I am shocked!.... Read dow below for some more info on PTLS....

Below  is a list of symptoms that are associated with post tubal ligation syndrome.

Post tubal ligation syndrome is often the result of a rapid decline of estrogen/progesterone hormone levels caused by the blood supply being damaged to the ovaries during the TL surgery.  Depending on the damage to the veins and capillaries, blood volume to the ovaries may slightly decrease or can be eliminated completely which is called isolated ovarian syndrome   (common with hysterectomy operations). Many of the symptoms of PTS are associated with menopause, hormone shock, or of having an estrogen/progesterone imbalance.

Other symptoms, such has heavy painful periods may be caused by a hormonal imbalance, could be caused by adenomyosis (bought on by uterus muscle and tissue being damaged, effected by the TL surgery impairing the blood supply to areas of that organ/muscle) or a combination of both.  Pain also can be caused by retro bleeding backing into the sealed fallopian tubes.

Other theories of PTLS and the hormonal imbalance that results after a TL is that target or receptor cells that are important in the relay of hormonal messages are damaged, destroyed, and or removed during the TL surgery.  These receptor cells act like a telephone, sending messages to the brain.   These  target/receptor cells are located within the fallopian tube.

With this in mind, it's possible for a woman to have both her ovaries still functioning to some degree (if blood supply was not damaged), have no major problems with her uterus (again if blood supply was not damaged to that organ), and still be experiencing PTS in the from of a hormonal imbalance caused by change in her hormonal message relay system due to receptor cells being removed.

The only way to find out for sure if you have a hormonal imbalance or are menopausal  is to be properly hormone tested.
