What is it going to take for the MD's to entertain the notion that PTLS may possibly be a real syndrome?

Reply: Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: What is it going to take for the MD's to entertain the notion that PTLS may possibly be a real syndrome?" Okay, I have gotten several responses to my posting about PTLS. If so many women have the same symptoms post-tubal, why not admit it is a real problem and find ways to help us other than a hysterectomy or birth control? I am only thirty-two years old. Women my age don't normally get hysterectomies. That is supposed to happen when we are past our child-bearing years, or so I thought. I have not been able to successfully take any form of birth control I have tried in the past. I got my tubes tied so I would NOT have to take the pill. It is redundant. I do not intend to begin to take it now or at any future time. I have the right to choose not to. So, my only other alternatives are to live with it or have a hysterectomy. Or so the one MD said that responded. Wow, what a choice. This MD does not have to live through what I and many other women have to live through from month to month. It is easy for him to say that. Sorry if I ruffle a few feathers with that. This is a sore subject with me. My ob-gyn NEVER made any mention of this kind of complications post-tubal. Given this kind of information I never would have had this procedure performed. Just because PTLS is not recognized by the medical community that is no reason for women not to be told about the possibility of the same kinds of symptoms I and MANY other women experience post-tubal. Here is a question for the MD's. Of the total number of women that have had tubals, how many experience the same kind of symptoms described by those of us that suffer from PTLS? sorry, I believe completely that it exists. I experience these symptoms month after month after month. Any feedback is welcomed! Thanks!! -- Cheryl M.
