#82014-06-15 22:46I was never informed of this happening to me and sadly it almost took my life, let alone landed me with a total hysterectomy at the age of 29! Doctors should disclose what can happen after having a tubal ligation done! |

#13 PTLS2014-07-09 17:20I've had nothing but heavy bleeding which literally floor me every month. Since I stumbled on this topic, I now realise that I have suffered like this since I got sterilised in 2001. Can't believe I've put up with it not realising why. Dr.s keep saying it's my Thyroid, but I never had these heavy bleedings before that. They just fob me off everytime. I'm now being told that they are going to put a mirena coil in now to slow down the bleeding because I'm coming up the menopause. I wish I had asked for a hysterectomy instead if I'd have known the problems this would cause me. I want my life back! Lost 10+ years of it. |

#142014-07-12 23:31I am one of the millions of women that have been plagued with PTLS. I can not help but think if I was only told about the possible side effects of Tubal Ligation my life would be so different. Doctors should be required to tell all patients about the side effects. At least women would be educated and then have a choice insted of being stuck with a horrible medical condition they knew nothing about. |

#152014-07-14 07:07I am experiencing, myself, PTLS. It is very real and I am in pain almost everyday. Please sign this petition and help our voices to be heard. |

#162014-07-22 08:50Doctors need to be held accountable for failure to disclose side effects. I deal with pain every month from having TL done many years ago. |
Guest |
#172014-08-03 12:53I have suffered some of the side effects myself which culminated in a hysterectomy. I was totally ignorant to the cause of my ongoing health problems and no doctor has ever even hinted that the tubal ligation I had could have been the cause. |
Guest |
#182014-08-07 19:04We need to be properly informed about the side affects of this procedure. This has caused so much misery for so many of us ladies! The doctors don't give a crap and are in complete denial of it all... It's NOT all in our heads!! |

#202014-08-11 06:56I am happy to sign this petition and make information on this PTLS problem available to other women. I've suffered from thinning hair together with a whole raft other terrible symptoms since the age of 27 when I had tubal ligation - I am now in my late 50's. I would like every woman considering this form of contraception to have information of these terrible side effects and I hope this petition eventually makes doctor's more aware of this information. |

#212014-08-13 03:29About time. Doctors are all too fond of using the "all in the mind" excuse when they are flummoxed. |

#222014-08-22 12:57No surgery should be performed without the fully informed consent of the patient! |
Guest |
#232014-09-23 00:20Glad that someone is finally starting a petition. If I knew then what I know now I'd never have gotten a tubal. |

#242014-09-26 21:18This is truely something. i wish doctorts would have warned me about so i could have made an even more informed decision. |

#252015-01-18 15:17Don't forget to include the uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. Several people, including myself, began having them a few years after TL. The Drs said I shouldn't feel pain at all but I had excruciating pain that would come on suddenly and it was so strong I would drop instantly to my knees and curl in the fetal position bawling. My friend would black out over the pain. Common with PTLS but most Drs won't even recognize it existence when you tell them. |
