These can include, as mentioned above, going onto birth control pills, having a hysterectomy or having a tubal ligation reversal surgery performed. By getting a tubal reversal ptls symptoms seem to be reduced for about 90% of patients. That’s the results of a study Dr. Berger of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center cites at press.tubal-reversal.net/2008/post-tubal-ligation-syndrome.html [...] [...] However, for women who have already undergone tubal surgery, there has to be other action taken.

Through data collected and documented by Dr. Berger and his staff, PTLS has been shown to exist in many women who have had a tubal ligation. Once again, Dr. Berger has taken a serious interest in the care and concerns of his patients by creating this study on PTLS. So many of his patients appreciate his awareness of this issue and to have the opportunity to share their symptoms and to get and give support on the CHSC message board.

So many PTLS sufferers have commented that the documentation of the syndrone has given them assurance that their symptoms are real and should be taken seriously. Anxiety is often the result of the unknown and to get answers for questions regarding PTLS is very helpful. Many thanks to Dr. Berger for this service and his concern for these women.

Im so glad that here on the message board the ladies have a chance to talk and share their stories and opinions on the matter.

It saddens me each time I speak with patients who say that when they try to explain what is going on with them, that they are told it is all in their heads. We have many patients come to have reversal surgery because of PTLS and it is wonderful to hear that there has been an improvement in their symtoms. This information will hopefully give many women hope and the assurance that they are not alone in all of this. I am so glad that there is now information in regards to Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.

We are studying how reversal helps relieve PTLS symptoms by following up with these patients months after surgery. Thus far, about 90% of patients report total or significant relief of PTLS symptoms after their reversal with Dr. Berger.

The definitive study that would settle this issue would be to have what is known as a prospective cohort study that compares the incidence or frequency of symptoms among two groups of women who are randomly assigned to either having a tubal ligation or not having a tubal ligation. Of course, such a study can never be done. I hope that we can help advance knowledge by studying the long term outcomes of tubal reversal procedures among women who come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and self-report having post tubal ligation symptoms. So far, the results of this follow-up study seem very promising in associating tubal ligation reversal with a reduction in the percentage of women having post tubal ligation symptoms.
