All Tied Up: Selling Sterilization

The biggest issue to face women concerning sterilization is not about choice, but rather one of informed consent, and whether or not women are being given all the information they need to make a truly informed decision. Unfortunately, doctors often trivialize the possible complications and thereby make the side effects of tubal ligation invisible.

Brochures on sterilization misrepresent tubal ligation with subtle terms that lessen the severity of the procedure. After all, it’s all about how it is presented. Words can have emotional connotations and the medical community does not want to scare women by using the terminology that might give light to the procedure that is actually occurring.…

 All Tied Up: Selling Sterilization

Brochures on sterilization misrepresent tubal ligation with subtle terms that lessen the severity of the procedure. After all, it’s all about how it is presented. Words can have emotional connotations and the medical community does not want to scare women by using the terminology that might give light to the procedure that is actually occurring.

Post Tubal Ligation (PTLS)

Often after our suffering has began & we've started researching our symptoms do we stumble upon the words PTLS & we begin to cry as we learn of what our Dr's could have warned us about but didn't. With the help of the internet we are now able to find one another all over the world & begin a movement. We’re demanding recognition & education by Dr’s to this largely debated syndrome before tubal ligation because #WeDeserve2Know.

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome

My Journey With PTLS (Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome).

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome is Real!

This blog is about post tubal ligation syndrome, its side effects, and how tubal reversal helped to relieve my symptoms of PTLS. It is also about my life after tubal reversal, and how I feel about the second chance I've been given...

Tubal Reversal

Tubal reversal surgery can be very successful at restoring your natural fertility, allowing you the chance to become pregnant every month, and providing you the ability to become pregnant more than once.

Tubal.org

The Coalition for Post Tubal Women (CPTwomen) advocates for women’s health rights. We work to educate women and the public of side effects of tubal ligation and of all types of female sterilizations which are collectively known as "Post Sterilization Syndrome" (PSS) aka "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome" (PTS) or (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.

MedicineNet

A tubal ligation does not protect a woman or her partner from sexually transmitted infections (sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs). It is also not an absolute method of birth control because a small percentage of women become pregnant after a tubal ligation. Pregnancy after tubal ligation is uncommon (occurring in less than 2% of women), and the risk of pregnancy appears to be related to age (younger women have more post-tubal ligation pregnancies) as well as the type of procedure used for the sterilization.

MedlinePlus

Tubal ligation (getting your "tubes tied") is a type of surgery. It prevents a woman from getting pregnant. It is a permanent form of birth control. The surgery closes the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus. It usually takes about 30 minutes. Almost all women go home the same day. Women can return to most normal activities within a few days. Tubal ligation can sometimes be reversed, but not always.

NHS

Female sterilisation is usually carried out under general anaesthetic, but can be carried out under local anaesthetic, depending on the method used. The surgery involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes, which link the ovaries to the womb (uterus).

Patient

Female sterilisation is an effective and permanent form of contraception. There is a very small failure rate. Sterilisation is only for people who have decided they do not want any children, or further children in the future. It is considered a permanent method of contraception. Reversal is a complicated operation which is not always successful.
