Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome and Yeast Infections


Yeast infections seem to go hand-in-hand with those that suffer with PTLS. There are so many changes that take place in some female bodies after the ligation. Not only do their periods become irregular they also become unbearable. Bleeding through and cramping becomes a dreaded monthly event. For those that really suffer the effects of PTLS the periods can happen twice a month or they are plagued with the never ending spotting.

One of the symptoms that have been noted with Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome is experiencing all of the symptoms of a yeast infection with the absence of yeast. Although there is no explanation to this (as with many of the other symptoms), women on the leading tubal reversal message board discuss it regularly. Many have come up with ideas that will help ward the symptoms off. Unfortunately, to be rid of the symptoms permanently these women had the tubal reversal procedure.

For those suffering with Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome it is important to understand that although the medical community may not acknowledge PTLS there are certainly many suffering with it. The tubal reversal surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have been performing tubal reversal surgery to help these women who are suffering. The great thing with CHTRC is that after the surgery the staff is staying in touch with the patients. The staff is following the patients and keeping track of how the patient is feeling. All of the feedback is being meticulously documented. Dr Berger, the Medical Director of CHTRC, is using this information to report how PTLS is reduced with tubal reversal surgery.

With enough medical evidence the medical community just may begin to acknowledge that PTLS dies happen to women. This is something that has been happening to women since physicians began performing this type of surgery.

If you are a woman who is suffering from Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome the CHTRC has many personal stories from patients. These women literally were at wits end trying to get doctors to believe that there was something wrong with them. They have finally found relief.

Herbs To Unblock Fallopian Tubes


There are women that have had a tubal ligation or their tubes tied and regret the choice they made. They want to have a baby but they are not sure how to go about it. Some hope and pray that their fallopian tubes will just grow back together. Others begin looking into what is known as herbal remedies. Do herbal remedies work to unblock tubes? Probably not. Science and medicine have not shown that herbal remedies work. The only evidence we have is those women who say it has worked. Normally they state their fact on the HSG results. The problem with this is that the HSG results are not right many times. Having the test results read and interpreted by another expert is imperative.

The only two proven ways to become pregnant after a tubal ligation is with IVF or tubal ligation reversal. With IVF being so expensive and the success rate so low, many couples are just not able to afford this. But once they find out the facts about tubal reversal surgery the hope iis restored. The tubal reversal procedure is not only less expensive the pregnancy rates are much higher. Couples do not know any of this until they are able to research it. The problem is that many of today’s physicians are not taught this in medical school and there are very few doctors who actually perform this surgery on a full-time basis. Those who perform just this type of surgery are considered the experts as they have had the opportunity to repair some of the worst damage.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is considered the leading tubal reversal center in the world. With the price of the tubal reversal procedure being low-cost and the surgery being outpatient many couples are able to have this procedure. Time away from family and work is kept to a minimum. After the healing is complete the couple is then able to begin trying to conceive.

Tubes Tied Reversal



When you hear “tubes tied reversal” what comes to mind? A woman having her tied tubes untied? Well, it is right, in a way. Having ones tubes tied is having a tubal ligation. Having the tubes untied is the repair of those tubes.

When a woman has a tubal ligation she is choosing the procedure as a permanent form of female sterilization. Her and her partner have chosen not to have any more children. The procedure blocks the fallopian tubes so that the egg and sperm cannot meet.

When a woman has her tubes tied the surgeon does not actually tie them in a knot. There are different procedures used such as clips, rings, cutting and burning. Other forms of sterilization also include the Adiana and Essure. All of these forms of sterilization can be successfully reversed.

So, when a couple chooses to have the tubes tied reversal procedure they are choosing to have the fallopian tubes repaired. In most cases the couples are choosing to have this procedure to restore fertility to have another child. There are women that have this procedure to get relief from Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.

When a couple chooses to have the tubes tied reversal procedure to have fertility restored there are some factors involved. Success depends on the experience of the surgeon performing the reversal, age at the time of reversal and the amount of damage to the fallopian tubes.

Dr. Monteith and Dr. Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center personally answer all questions that are sent to them. Why do they do this? They believe the more a person understands about tubal ligation reversal surgery the better informed decision they are able to make.

Tubal Reversal Surgery From A Husbands View




When we think about tubal ligation reversal surgery we think of the woman or the “patient” having the surgery. What we seldom think about is the husband and the range of emotions that he has.

Recently reading a tubal reversal husband's story that was very heartwarming, I began to think about things. How the reversal journey changes them as husbands. They worry about the same things that their wives do. They may not express it the same way, but they certainly have feelings and emotions that can be quite startling.

One of the biggest things is the worry when a man’s wife heads into surgery. Although they can be told that everything will be fine, there is still fear. As they wheel his spouse away for the surgery room there are many thoughts taking place. Will she actually be okay? Is this surgery really worth it if it means something happening to her? I can’t imagine my life without her. The minutes tick by like hours. And finally he receives word that she is out of surgery and doing just fine. He breathes a deep sigh of relief.

As he is escorted to see his wife he just wants to see for himself that she is okay. She may be a bit pale and still sleeping. He wants to talk to her. Having just woken from surgery she may be groggy and not quite fully awake. This, of course, can cause alarm in the most masculine of men.

Once his spouse is released back to the hotel room he has some unease. He will be the only one with her. What if something happens? While his spouse was in surgery he was receiving specific instructions for monitoring his wife during recovery and knowing that he can always call for any questions or concerns. All of these instructions have helped him breath a bit easier. He now knows what he needs to be aware of. This is a huge role reversal; he is now responsible for monitoring his wife's care.

After she is back home and getting into the swing of things life begins to return to normal. This husband is now beginning to relax a bit and realizes just what his wife has gone through to have a child with him. He has a new view on things.

Time passes and a baby or two is born. As the children grow he remembers how this all started. He has projects that take place and the children help. This is the family he has asked for and always wanted and always dreamt about.

It is important to remember that men go through the tubal reversal journey just as we women do. Men have their prayers and dreams answered too in the tubal reversal journey.
