    Hi Mummy25, like you it is a relief to know that other women are experiencing the same symptoms as me re: tubal ligation. I have suffered for almost 6 years now and was beginning to think it was all in my head until coming across this thread.

    My symptoms range from severely itchy skin, to having thrush like symptoms with no dicharge every few weeks (no sign on testing though) and pretty much everything in between. All of my problems have only come about since having my tubes tied and for years I have been telling DH of this fact, but my doctor just basically fobbed me off. It has been very frustrating to say the least, but there is light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

    Now I just need my new GP to take me seriously as from what I have read on the net it is not widely recognised as a syndrome. I think those of us who are suffering the side effects of tubal ligation need to inform other women of what we aren't told. I was at the point where I had given up complaining to my doctor and just excepted what was happening as normal, though it is far from normal, and I have been warning everyone I know from having their tubes tied in the hopes that no one else has to suffer unnecessarily.

    mummy 25, i am studying to be a RN but then midwife
    tami, this does exist. the blood supply to your ovaries is the fallopian tubes. they don't tell you this simple yet important factor either when they are butchering you...

    luvchildren it angers me that they can perform this type of surgery without giving you the full details of what the side effects can be. I have suffered for too long already and it has affected so many facets of my life.
    What can we do to stop others from going through the same thing? How are women able to make an informed decision if vital information is kept from them?
    I was warned about what could go wrong during the surgery but not of the side effects that so many women are now experiencing afterwards, had I been told I would never have agreed to have them done.
    Don't doctors have an obligation to tell patients about this sort of thing?

    tami, i know how you feel about this. this issue has been ignored by everyone. I hope that when i have finished my degree I can bring this to a research facility to get the news out there. Doctors don't care. you are a number and if it stops them from playing golf, they will cut it out or butcher it for a quick fix. unfortunately, unless you have thousands for legal costs, its difficult to fight a whole culture.
    em, glad to read you are doing okay
    maz, hey long lost ranger......

    Hello...
    mumof6....congrats on the safe arrival of Breah.
    mummy25..... Cysts arent generally a problem...doctors wont do anything unless they are over 5 cm across(no matter how uncomfortable they can make you)

    Well we finally home...pap smear results came back clear....the other tests will be done this week so fingers crossed...
    Take care everyone..
