Require Doctors to inform women of PTLS before a tubal ligation
We require Doctors to tell us on the consent form prior to sterilisation of the side effects that is affecting thousands of women.
Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome: Iatrogenesis affects that create negative health conditions after a tubal ligation or female sterilization surgery. Can be hormonal and or physical in nature. Health changes both physical and hormonal can cause mental health to be affected, causing loss of sexual drive for the woman, memory loss, depression, anger and rage.
Iatrogenesis: A Greek word which means "doctor-caused" or "doctor produced". It is a medical term meaning harm done by doctors, or negative side effect(s) caused by a medical treatment or procedure. The negative side effect(s) can be due to error, negligence, or can be caused by the standard protocol of the treatment.
Currently, doctors are not required to inform their patients about any of the possible outcomes after having a tubal ligation. It is commonly conceived as a safe form of birth control. There are side effects that can change the rest of a woman's life, her well-being and cause death if symptoms are left untreated or overlooked. Tubal ligation is a fix for one thing but creates a platform for guaranteed future problems.
Medically, PTLS is not recognized as a syndrome. When addressed to a doctor, women are usually told nothing is wrong, it's just how their period is after a TL. I've experienced first-hand that this IS real. Women and the general public need to be informed. You should find it odd that there is a list of post vasectomy issues but a TL is considered safe, with few post-op problems.
