The symptoms you have described are similar to those we have heard from other patients. We do not understand what about having a sterilization causes the symptoms, why they vary so much between different women, or why some women are affected and others are not. What we are doing is collecting data from our patients who tell us they have developed problems after TL, then following up with them 6 months after their reversal surgery. We have not analyzed the data yet - but so far, it appears that close to 90% of the women we have followed up with have experienced either some or dramatic improvement.

I was wondering if there is any evidence that a TL can cause cystic ovaries. I have had cystic ovaries since my TL in 1997. Two doctors so far have told me the only thing I can do is to keep trying different BCP's to suppress the ovaries. This past month, it was so painful I almost went to the ER. This occurs monthly and U/S always show a lot of fluid in the abdomen from this. I am tired of the pain. I suspect the TL, but have found no evidence to support. Thank you for your time!
