Can Tubal Ligation Cause Cramps,back Pain And Weight Gain?

female problems
I'm 23 will be 24 in March. I had my tubes tied in Aug 2010 after my 2nd child. My periods are crazy, I'm having mood swings, hot flashes, ect. Sometimes I think I may be pregnant which I was told is almost impossible. Could this be the start of menapause? I can't sleep at night, I gain weight and lose it like crazy. I have back pain all the time. sometimes cramps so bad I can't walk.

As i see it , you are 23 now, had tubal ligation in 2010 , that is 6 years ago .it means you were 17 years old when you had 2 children and got your tubes tied at age 17. That is very unusual in my practice but since you did have this procedure done, ther is certain percentage of patients who develope the symptoms you are describing after Tubal ligation. it has been named POst tubal syndrome. Oral contraceptives especially progesterone only pill may help to reduce your symptoms sp please visit your gynecologist ,who will be able to help you.
