Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome

[Tashie D]

Hi Aingeal,

It's interesting to hear your story. I have been "cured" from endo by having kids. I didn't think you can get endo after TL because the theory by most specialist's is that the blood overflows through your tubes to the outer part of your uterus and implants in the outside of your uterus. So if your tubes are tied, then you'd think this can't occur after the op.

Maybe you had endo before you had kids? A lot of people have it and don't even know they do. That was me until I was in my mid 20's when it had developed enough to start to cause me to wonder what was wrong with me. I always had the long, heavy periods but GP's just put that down to my cycle.

Let me know what your specialist says about your condition and how you go with you lapscopy.

Good luck!

I've had it since I was a teenager from what we are noticing, but it seems that is not what is causing me an issue right now, seems I have ovarian cysts causing my massive bouts of pain, I have to talk to my Dr again this coming week and see about what can be done as I've been having this pain on and off for 9years and it is causing problems in the bedroom I really want the cysts gone, especially since I've found out they can cause infertility and as I want to have more children I'd rather get rid of them now and be safer than sorry later not to mention the constant pain, the sleepless nights from being up all night with the pain would be nice to get rid of For now they are monitoring the cysts and I have to have another ultrasound in a couple months but hopefully I can get them removed sooner than that.


*also the fluid can pass through a hole made by operations as well such as when a doctor goes through a womb during a curette such as my doctor did at the time of my TL*

Pity you're in NSW, I've got the best specialist in melbourne and he would have sorted you out years ago!

I can't believe they haven't given you a laproscopy and cleaned out the endo and fixed the cysts. That's terrible from you Dr's point I think.

I'd be getting another opinion there love!!

Good luck let me know how you go.

I'm seriously considering changing Dr's because I spoke to mine and we decided to see about going to a gyno and getting the cysts removed, but as yet I'm still waiting for the referral, I'm going to call the gyno in the morning and see if the Dr has sent it yet, if not I'll do what my mum said and get my partner to rush me to hospital and tell them I'm in massive pain, as the Gyno works at the hospital anyways, he worked on my mum's cysts and apparently is rather good so lets hope that trick works. Either that or get the referral from another Dr
