I would certainly agree with this. It is extraordinarily unlikely that the list of symptoms is related in any fashion to a tubal ligation. Nothing is impossible, but it has to be million to one odds that a tubal ligation would cause those symptoms. Perhaps an academic center (department of Ob/Gyn) would be a better choice than a busy private physician. In these situations a thorough history and exam, including, probably, a laparoscopy, is warranted to look for the cause of the pain. Having a tubal should *not* cause pain, PMS, and profuse bleeding. Reversing it would not help, either.

I hope that answers are forthcoming and that the lady who posted gets relief from her symptoms.

I apologize, but I am unable to answer personal e-mail due to time constraints.
