If you are thinking of getting Tubal Ligation surgery, check this out before you do. If you have had it already, check it out to. This might surprise you, or maybe not...
Tubal ligation syndrome is a name for a lot of conditions that women can get after having a tubal ligation performed on them. You may have a lot of these symptoms if you had it done, and probably chalked them up to child birth or getting older.
Step2
Some of these symptoms include: Loss of libido (sex drive), Dry vagina (doesn't help loss of libido any) Hot flashes Trouble sleeping throughout the night Irregular menstruation (light or heavy) Aching sore joints and tendons Weight gain Pelvic pain Decreased lactation ability
Step3
There are many more symptoms, I am including links to some sites. There are links on these sites to try and get legislation requiring full disclosure before performing the surgery. They disclose now for the risk of ectopic pregnancies and accidentally cutting the bowel. They are not informing women of these other risks. There is also a link on one to join a class action lawsuit for this.
Tips & Warnings
If you are thinking of getting this done, do yourself a favor and dig deeper into this subject before you decide.
Also if you are thinking of getting tubal ligation please be sure you don't want anymore children. A lot of women regret it several years later and wish they hadn't had it done.
According to my sources, this surgery can actually mess with your hormones.
