Hello

Thank you for writing at HCM.

Tubal ligation is nowadays done with Laparoscope, if by any chance you did an open tubal ligation, your symptoms can possible be due to complications of the surgery or surgical site infection.

You are required to do an USG Abdo-Pelvis along with CBC, CRP to confirm if anything is wrong with surgery or its SSI.

You can take Tab Amzesik MR 1-0-1 x 5 days, Tab Cefovolk 200 1-0-1 x 5 days, Dermo GM o/m 1-1-1-1 x 5 days to correct SSI.

You should consult your gynecologist again and explain him/her about the complications.

Wish you well.
Thanks
