Reply to Post tubal ligation syndrome

Posted By Anonymous on Mar 21, 2024

Hi, I have been diagnosed with "untreated/undianosed postnatal depression" after the birth of my son 5 years ago. Shortly after his birth I started to feel very different and the easiest way to describe it is to say I felt empty. It was my 4th C section and I choose to have a tubal ligation. Ever since the procedure my body feels different. I spoke to my G.P. about the drastic changes in my menstrual cycle and if it was anything to do with the procedure, he was very fast to dismiss my concerns. I spent 4 years trying to push down the feeling of anxiety and low moods until eventually I sought help and recieved a diagnosis of PND a few months back. Recently I have learned of post tubal ligation syndrome and a large amount of the symptoms overlap with PND, except it seems to explain the changes in my menstrual cycle also. Has anyone else experienced similar?
