What Causes Irregular And Painful Periods Post Tubal Ligation?

I am 26 years old and got my tubes tied 4.5 years ago. Over the past few months my cycle has gone at the most 41 days. However, this time it went 53 days and when I got my period on 10/5/15 it was more painful then it has been in a long time. I m wondering if there are any known signs that my tubes have either healed or something has happened. The doctor that performed the surgery told me since I was only 21 when I had it done that if I really did not want anymore children I should start taking birth control 5 years after my surgery.
