Welcome to the CPTwomen, Tubal.org, your source for information about the side effects of female sterilization, salpingectomy, tubal ligation, Essure, and clips.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive and reliable information to help women make informed decisions about their reproductive health.

We understand the importance of education and empowerment when it comes to such critical matters, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

We emphasize the importance of education, informed consent, hormone health, and the crucial need for hormone testing to protect and monitor your overall well-being.

Surgical menopause, also known as induced menopause, occurs when both ovaries are surgically removed or rendered nonfunctional. This results in a decline in circulating levels of estrogen, progesterone, and inhibins.

Tubal Ligation & Sterilization has side effects commonly refereed to as "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome" (PTLS).

“The better informed we are... the healthier we'll be!”

Are You Suffering from "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome" (PTLS)?

If you've undergone a sterilization (tubal ligation, salpingectomy, clips, etc.) & afterwards experienced health changes, know you are not alone. Many women report a change in their health after getting their tubes tied. Symptoms of PTLS include pain, heavy bleeding and hormone imbalances. Here at Tubal.org we present details about PTLS, the need for better consent and highlight the critical need for hormone lab testing.

Hormone lab testing is important for all women, but because of the serious risk of a sudden & substantial disruption in hormone levels to manifest afterwards it becomes even more crucial for those who have undergone sterilization. Long term, if left untreated in a young woman, a depleted hormonal state (complete loss of ovarian hormones as seen with Oophorectomy) can lead to accelerated bone loss, more severe cases of osteoporosis and earlier onset of heart disease.

A key step all women can take to manage their health is to regularly test and monitor her hormone levels. This proactive approach allows for the early detection of potential health issues, enabling timely treatment when it will be most effective and grants the highest benefit.

Do not ignore your symptoms.

If you think you might be experiencing Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome

get hormone tested for confirmation & peace of mind.

Take your symptoms seriously!

Get tested and learn if you are experiencing a hormone or vitamin deficiency

and to what extent it may be affecting you.

Lets get real, "When was the last time you had your levels checked?"

Is Lab Testing Essential for Women who have Undergone a Sterilization?

Absolutely!

Let's get right to it. Tubal ligation can result in a hormone deficiency. The only way to assess whether this is happening and the degree to which it affects you is through hormone testing. The avenues to obtain lab testing are to ask your private physician to order tests for you or to self-order labs on your own.

If you suspect you might have PTLS the information we present here may assist you with solutions to your quest to better health.

Hormone lab testing plays a vital role in understanding & managing health. By regularly monitoring hormone, vitamin and other levels, individuals can gain important insights into their physical & emotional well-being. This proactive approach allows patients along with their healthcare providers to detect any deficiencies or imbalances early on, allowing for timely interventions when treatment is likely to be most effective & beneficial.

While the physical symptoms of PTLS such as pain and heavy bleeding are obvious to women (symptoms that can’t be ignored or hidden), that of a hormone or vitamin imbalance causing hot flashes or weight gain may not be as obvious. Over time, a severe untreated hormone imbalance such one that can manifest after a tubal surgery can have devastating effects on a long term woman's health. This includes serous health conditions beginning younger in life (such as osteoporosis) causing more harm then that if the condition was treated. The only way to fully diagnose and monitor a hormone imbalance or vitamin deficiency is with lab testing.

Is Lab Testing Essential for Women who have Undergone a Sterilization?

Absolutely!

A proactive patient actively participates in their healthcare by taking ownership of their health, seeking preventative care, and engaging in open communication with their healthcare providers. One of the key steps a woman can take to actively manage her health after sterilization is to regularly test and monitor her hormone levels. This proactive approach allows for the early detection of potential health issues, enabling timely treatment when it is most effective.

We advocate for lab and hormone testing for all women to monitor one’s health status when needed and to obtain key benchmark levels when appropriate for comparison, but it is particularly crucial for those who have had tubal ligation or sterilization to know and understand their hormone levels. This is due to the increased likelihood of experiencing significant hormone imbalances after sterilization which can increase the risk of developing serious health issues over time.

Untreated acute hormonal imbalances (sudden and substantial disruption in hormone levels), which can occur from the ovaries blood supply being affected at the time of a fallopian tube surgery, can lead to a range of health issues. This includes severe menopausal symptoms, mood swings, fatigue, weight changes, menstrual irregularities and increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, cognitive decline and a higher likelihood of early mortality (death).

By regularly monitoring hormone and other levels, individuals can gain important insights into their physical and emotional well-being. This proactive approach allows patients along with their healthcare providers to detect any deficiencies or imbalances early on allowing for timely interventions when treatment is likely to be most effective and beneficial.

It’s important to note that not all women after tubal ligation or salpingectomy experiences the syndrome and not all who experience health changes afterwards has PTLS; some may have other underlying health issues such as thyroid disorder, high cortisol levels, low vitamin D levels, etc... which may have symptoms that mimic low ovarian hormone levels. Still, the findings of hypothyroidism, high stress levels, or low vitamin levels do not rule out that a hormone imbalance or surgical menopause is not also occurring. The findings of normal thyroid, cortisol, or vitamin D levels do not rule out that hormone imbalance or surgical menopause is not also occurring. The findings of a hormonal imbalance do not rule out that other conditions (i.e., autoimmune, cancer, etc.) is not also occurring. For this reason, when obtaining lab testing for hormones other conditions should also be considered and investigated.

Female Sterilization:

Female sterilization (aka tubal ligation) today is done surgically using coagulation (burning the tubes) (pomeroy or modified pomeroy ligation, bipolar cauterization, or monopolar cauterization of the tubes), or by using a medical devise such as a clip (Filshie, Wolf, or Hulka clips), a silicone ring or band (Falope ring, Yoon ring, or Lay loop), or an Ova Bloc, Essure, or NovaSure Adiana type product to seal shut or block (obstruct) the fallopian tube. Other methods of sterilization performed today and historically includes bilateral salpingectomy (removal of both fallopian tubes), fimbriectomy (removing a portion of the fallopian tube closest to the ovary), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), and using chemicals such as Atabrine or Mepacrine (also called quinacrine) which are placed into the uterus in pellet form then dissolve and scar the fallopian tubes causing the tubes to seal shut.

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS):

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS) are the short and long term negative physical, hormonal and psychological effects that can manifest after a woman undergoes sterilization.

Experts theorize the cause of post tubal ligation syndrome is that surgical ligation (clamping/cutting) or removal (salpingectomy) of the fallopian tubes can affect the ovarian arteries resulting in ischemia (reduced or eliminated blood flow) to the ovaries and to sections of the uterus resulting in acute hormone imbalances, surgical menopause, hypo-libido (loss of sex drive), irregular periods, heavier bleeding and pelvic pain.

Another theory of the hormonal imbalance that can result after tubal ligation and salpingectomy is that target or receptor cells that are important in the relay of hormonal messages are damaged, destroyed or removed during surgery. These receptor cells act like a telephone, sending messages to the brain. These target receptor cells are located within the fallopian tube.

Symptoms of PTLS can include:

Hot flashes/night sweats and/or cold flashes,clammy feeling, chills
Chronic Fatigue, crashing fatigue
Irregular or Heavier Periods
Pelvic Pain
Loss of Sex Drive (Libido)
Increased depression/anxiety
Weight gain
Difficulty concentrating, disorientation, mental confusion, disturbing memory lapses
Increased headaches
Dry, itching, and/or color change in vagina area.
Aching, sore joints, muscles and tendons
Electric Shock Sensations (ESS): akin to a rubber band snapping against the skin, a pinching feeling, or a static electricity sensation.

Due to drastic hormonal changes the body.

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS) is linked with:

Castrative Menopause, Ovarian Isolation/Atrophic Ovaries
Severe Hormone Imbalance/Hormone Shock
Increased Risk of Heart Disease
Bone Loss and Osteoporosis
Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) (irregular or heavier periods/clotting)
Loss of Sex Drive (Libido)
Pelvic Congestive Syndrome (pelvic pain)
Adenomyosis, Ovarian/Tubal Cysts
Misplacement of Female Organs/Pelvic Adhesions
Decreased Lactating Ability

Can PTLS be treated?

Yes, but in order for any medical condition to be treated it first needs to be diagnosed.

While there is no guaranteed solution for Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS), various treatment options are available to alleviate symptoms. These approaches may include hormone therapy (HRT, Bioidentical Hormones), supplements, pain relief strategies (medications or physical therapy), and, in certain instances, surgical procedures like tubal ligation reversal.

It is suggested to begin first with lab testing to determine the level of ovarian function and to check for hormone or vitamin deficiencies. Lab testing provides a wealth of information and is a good start to explore reasons for your symptoms with the understanding if a hormonal imbalance is found that does not mean other conditions such as pelvic congestive syndrome or a vitamin deficiency are not also occurring.

Treatment Options:

Note: You are advised to obtain the services of a physician or health care professional if the need for medical treatment is indicated.

~ Hormone Therapy:

Hormone therapy (HRT) can assist in balancing hormonal fluctuations that may arise after a tubal ligation. Lab testing plays a key role in determining if a hormone imbalance exists, and to monitor the effectiveness of HRT therapy. Hormone testing should be done before starting any type of HRT including bioidentical hormone supplements, estrogen creams, testosterone, etc.

~ Pain Management:

The use of medications or physical therapy may effectively address pain linked to PTLS.

~ Surgery:

Tubal ligation reversal (TR) is a surgical procedure that reconnects the fallopian tubes. The success rates of tubal ligation reversal can differ based on individual circumstances and the specific techniques employed. Generally, a TR is considered to be an elective surgery.

Welcome to the CPTwomen's “Campaign to Inform ~ PTLS”

The Coalition for Post Tubal Women (CPTwomen) advocates for women’s health rights. We work to educate women and the public of the "late sequelae" side effects of tubal ligation and of all types of female sterilizations which are collectively known as "Post Sterilization Syndrome" aka "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome" (PTLS). There are thousands of websites, doctors, and organizations that explain, promote, and provide sterilization and the tubal ligation procedure, but only here will you find what doctors don't tell you about tubal ligation (and female sterilization) and women working together to create change.

Tubal ligation, female sterilization, medical devices and treatments which affect the fallopian tubes for the purpose of birth control are conceived to be permanent non-reversible forms of birth control. Tubal Ligation (TL), sometimes called tubal sterilization, female sterilization or “tying the tubes”, is a surgical procedure in which a physician seals shut a woman’s fallopian tubes. This is done surgically using coagulation (burning the tubes) (pomeroy or modified pomeroy ligation, bipolar cauterization of the tubes, or monopolar cauterization of the tubes), or by using a medical devise such as a clip (Hulka or Filshie Clip), a ring, a band, or an Ovalastic, Ova Bloc, Adiana, or Essure type product to seal shut or block (obstruct) the fallopian tube.

Other methods of sterilization includes bilateral salpingectomy (removal of both fallopian tubes), fimbriectomy (removal of fimbrial and infundibular portions of the fallopian tube), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), and using chemicals such as Atabrine or Mepacrine (also called quinacrine) which are placed into the uterus in pellet form then dissolve and scar the fallopian tubes causing the tubes to seal shut. Female sterilizations are performed during pelvic surgery, cesarean section (c-section), and by laparoscopy (aka minilaparotomy or “minilap”) while non-surgical (no cut) permanent birth control (PBC) sterilizations are performed using a hysteroscope (hysteroscopy).

Tubal ligation and female sterilization (Essure, clips, etc.) can cause a sequela (late sequelae) (negative health condition) outcome called "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome" (PTS) or (PTLS) aka "Post Sterilization Syndrome" (PSS). When a medical device is used to perform the sterilization (clips, Essure) the device can cause a “Post Implant Syndrome (PIS)”.

All forms of female sterilization have known and potential negative side effects (late sequelae) which women need to be informed of prior to consenting to sterilization. For example, women need to be informed that female sterilization can cause hydrosalpinx (1) (2), fallopian tube torsion, and adnexal torsion causing pain. Female sterilization can also cause the condition of adenomyosis and pelvic congestion syndrome which manifests as pain and dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) which may require surgical remedies or complete hysterectomy to correct excessive bleeding. Also important to understand is female sterilization/tubal ligation procedures can affect the blood supply to the ovaries causing anovulation (ovaries failing to normally function or to ovulate), premature ovarian failure (POF), or surgical menopause (female castration).

Just because ovaries are present after tubal ligation, female sterilizations (Essure, filshie clips, etc.), salpingectomy, and in the case of hysterectomy with ovarian conservation/preservation does NOT mean they will continue to function as before.

After these surgeries it is important that women regularly monitor their hormone levels. If it is found that ovarian function is decreased or lost there are treatments which can help a woman’s overall short term and long term health. ~ Susan Bucher, BSN, RN

Systemic hypersensitivity reactions/delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) and autoimmune syndromes aside, the fact that gynecological medical devices used for the purpose of birth control and female sterilization (Essure, Filshie clips, IUDs, etc.) are known to migrate and implant into non-targeted areas of the body causing pain and mayhem puts a whole new meaning to the term "Post Implant Syndrome".~ Susan Bucher, BSN

Negative physical side effects of female sterilization have been known by medical professionals since the 1930’s but publicly the information was withheld from women and the masses (possibly because of the social nature of the procedure). The photo above is from a medical text book from 1931.

The CPTwomen is not anti-tubal. We are against the withholding of information by the ACOG/doctors/medical community in order to force consent. We believe that tubal ligations should be presented as a choice to women as a form of birth control but with full consent which would disclose the risk of sterilization syndrome.

For women who had a tubal ligation or have been sterilized, learning about post tubal ligation syndrome (PTLS) or post sterilization syndrome (PSS) after the fact can be harrowing and upsetting, but we believe that receiving information and support to be consoling and empowering. One thing that all women state when learning this information is they are happy to have received the information but “wished they had this information before their sterilization”.

The Coalition for Post Tubal Ligation Women is working to put in place informed consent laws that would make it mandatory for doctors to inform women of the known and potential side effects of sterilization before women consent to the surgery, procedure, or treatment.

Our goals are to:

Share information
Promote change
Put in place proper inform consent laws

Why “Post Sterilized Women” should get their anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels checked

Anti Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is useful in evaluating ovarian function because levels decline as ovarian function declines. AMH levels are low to undetectable in female infancy and after menopause. Low levels of AMH in a woman of reproductive age (under the age of 40) indicate ovarian hypofunction or “early menopause”. AMH levels do not vary greatly throughout the menstrual cycle so they can be measured on any day of the cycle. AMH is not altered or influenced by birth control pills or pregnancy. A decrease in AMH can be caused by increasing age, obesity, chemotherapy/radiation, hysterectomy and by “tubal sterilization”.

2011 Tubal Sterilization study demonstrates an association between tubal sterilization and reduced ovarian reserve...

2011 Hysterectomy study demonstrated that total abdominal hysterectomy causes 30% more loss of ovarian reserve in addition to the effects of aging…

Women under the age of 46 who had both ovaries removed (or lose function of both ovaries) experienced a marked increase in eight chronic health conditions, including coronary artery disease, depression, memory (dementia), arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoporosis.

Ovarian Isolation & Female Castration
Exposing the Risks of Essure, Filshie Clips & Tubal Ligation

Were yo put on the “Pill” AFTER your sterilization (or a *hormonal IUD)???

This is a RED FLAG!!!

There are risks associated with female sterilization (tubal ligation, Essure, Filshie clips) that women and the public are NOT informed of. Key information which is omitted and withheld by OBGYN physicians includes increased risk for hysterectomy and the risk of female castration (loss of ovarian function which can lead to “hormone shock”).

"Withholding information is a crime of “omission” which invalidates consent. Women then become victims of “battery” at the time of their sterilization". ~Dr. V.G. Hufnagel

These omissions by OBGYNs to women when consenting to sterilization are technically a “breach of the duty of disclosure” and become a criminal act of battery at the time of sterilization.

Crimes of "Omission" Lead to Battery with Sterilization

The primary focus here is women’s health, women’s rights, informed consent, and how the lack of consent equates to physical battery and medical battery.

Women have a right, “not to be alienated from her sexual and reproductive capacity (e.g., through coerced sex or marriage, prostitution, female ‘circumcision,’ denial of access to birth control, sterilization without informed consent, prohibitions on homo sexuality), and to her right to the integrity of her physical person (e.g., freedom from sexual violence, from false imprisonment in the home, from unsafe contraceptive methods, from unwanted pregnancies or coerced childbearing, from unwanted medical interventions).”

Informed Consent or Forced Sterilization? Does anyone really give true “consent”???

Informed consent means the knowing consent of an individual (or their legally authorized representative), so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice without undue inducement or any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress or any form of restraint or coercion.

The Cycle of Abuse:
Sterilization, Essure, Tubal Ligation & the Pill

How ACOG Members Profit from Battery,
Why Sterilized Women are put on the “Pill”, & How Being Prescribed the Birth Control Pill Relates to Battery

The ACOG and their OBGYN members know that when tubal ligation surgeries and ESSURE sterilizations are performed that many of the women will be returning for second and third surgeries such as ablations, D&C’s (dilation and curettage) and hysterectomies because of side effects from the sterilization. The very same organization/obgyn doctors that withheld the information and profited by doing so then go on to profit again from the original consumer fraud. Women are not informed at the time of their sterilization that the surgery or essure device could create such conditions that would necessitate such treatments. Women are told at the time of these second and third surgical procedures that their sterilization had in no way caused their health condition that necessitated such radical procedures. This creates a cycle of abuse. Read more...

The 3 Types of Sterilization “Regret”

One side effect that women are universally informed of as being a possible risk of female sterilization and tubal ligation is that of “regret”.

This side effect is psychological in nature.

“Regret” is commonly referred to by the medical community to mean later wishing you could have more children.

Post Tubal Sterilization Regret:

It's impossible to regret a decision when information was withheld from you and you where not given the information in order to base your decision.

There is a word for this, but the word is not "regret".

how_tubal_ligation,_clips,_and_essure_are_alike_8.jpg

Tubal ligation, salpingectomy, clips, and Essure permanent birth control are all considered to be “elective” and require “informed consent”.

They all can cause post sterilization syndrome, pain, bleeding, menstrual disorders, hypo ovarian function, decreased hormones, and total loss of ovarian function.

OBGYNs often prescribe the “Pill” to women AFTER they are sterilized wthout first hormone testing. The only way to know if a woman has a hormonal imbalance is to be hormone tested. If hormones are needed, other hormone treatments are more appropriate and safer then the pill. The ACOG and all OBGYNs know this. The birth control pill is designed for young women with normal hormone production (and normal hormone levels) to prevent pregnancy…. NOT as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for a woman depleted of hormones. Taking the birth control pill puts a woman at risk of stroking out. This risk increases with age, smoking, and high blood pressure. Post sterilized women are also sometimes given a hormonal IUD. Hormonal IUDs also carry risks such as heavy bleeding, severe cramping and vaginal inflammation.

Crimes of “Omission” occur by OBGYNs during sterilization consent and follow-up care which creates a “Cycle of Abuse”.

Learn Why Post Sterilized Women are given the “Pill”... (and sometimes an IUD) !!!

Female sterilization is known by OBGYNs to cause hormonal imbalances. Through a code of silence this information is withheld from women and the public at large.

Many post sterilized women who return to their OBYGNs complaining of symptoms of post sterilization syndrome (bleeding, irregular cycles, etc...) are prescribed the “Birth Control Pill” (and sometimes a *hormonal IUD) without first being hormone tested. This could be construed as a “omission” leading to battery as the doctor is prescribing the ”Pill” to treat a condition which is NOT diagnosed (without hormone testing it’s not known if hormones are needed).

The only way to know if a woman has a hormonal imbalance is to be hormone tested. If hormones are needed, other hormone treatments are more appropriate and safer then the pill. The ACOG and all OBGYNs know this. The birth control pill is designed for young women with normal hormone production (and normal hormone levels) to prevent pregnancy….
