Unfortunately that is one of the side effects from having your tubes tied. Very few Dr's discuss this with their patients. I was going to get my tubes tied 3 years ago, but after talking with many women who had had it done..and one very honest up-front doctor, I decided against it. I am so glad I did. Everyone I know who has had their tubes tied has this as a side effect.
Talk with your dr to see if there is anything they suggest you try to ease the bleeding and cramping.

Well, it might be gross, but I'll bet most on here have been through it at one time or another. Good grief, we are women! It happens. But anyways, I'm kinda the same way. Just went to the doc's last week for blood pressure and asked about this. I'm having blood tests done to make sure I'v not become anemic from losing so much blood. Also going to get a pap and see if I have something wrong inside and "IF" so, then they will burn the inside of my uteris. That's all I'v learned so far on this. Got my blood drawn, but don't go back to doc's till early May. Yep, the pms get's really bad too. I'm 41, and was told that I could be starting menopause. I asked how long it would take and was told it can take up to 10 years! (That is so not fair! LOL) But yeah, I could rip someone apart at times! So, I just shut up and go off by myself so I don't say something I'll regret later. So anyways, your very normal, like the rest of us. Don't worry. Good luck.

My friend who has also had her tubes tied has the exact same symptoms each and every month without fail. She is literally debilitated with pain for at least 2 days and vomits excessively due to this.
She believes that there are adhesions caused from the operation which are being torn with the natural palpating of that whole area during the menstrual cycle.
She also has read that when an epidural goes the wrong way, some of these symptoms are a side effect of that.
If you do find anything to help, she would be the most grateful person, so please keep in contact if you do find something. Thanks.

I would personally talk to your doctor about this. I know that I used to get heavy periods, and cramps so bad I'd cry and crawl up with a heating pad....but I'm on birth control now and it's regulated my period....and even lightened it up. The only thing is, you say you have had your tubes tied....I would have a doctor check into that. Maybe something was done incorrectly, or depending how long ago you've had your tubes tied, your body is just responding to it differently because it's not used to your "tubes being tied"......
I wish you luck and feel better!! Hope I've helped.

Sweetie, you need to get to your doctor. You could be losing so much blood that you could become anemic. You need to get your hemoglobin checked and it also sounds like birth control pills would help you out. Birth control pills can help with pms too. I also have my tubes tied but I am taking them to regulate my periods and control my horrible PMS symptoms. They have been a blessing to me (and my family,lol). Just make sure you tell your doctor all of your symptoms because there are a lot of different pills out with different hormone levels and letting your doc know everything that is going on will help him to put you on the ones that are just right for you. Good luck sweetie!!

Is your ? "Is this normal?" Talk to your Dr. If it was not like this before then it could be just that your body is stressed by the surgery(you didn't say how long ago) or it could be something else wrong... or it could be your new normal. It sounds like a normal period to me, cause I go through that every month although since starting pre-menopause at least it is only 3-5 days instead of 7.

Don't mess with this It could be depleting your Iron and cause other complications... The treatment is often as simple as prescribing medication or it could require surgery. See your Doctor ASAP and if he/she is not available go to a clinic,for an examination and blood test to evaluate your blood for Anaemia, Iron deficiency, Endometryosis, etc...
SEE YOUR DOCTOR
Good Luck

Go back to the Doctor and see what they say. Is it normal for this to occur after having your tubes tied?

Ask your doctor about it. It could be dangerous as you might lose a lot of blood in your body. As for your cramps I advise you to just rest and drink pain relievers subscribed by the doctor. But you should not use it too often.

I suggest that you go to doctor to have yourself check-out. Its not normal what you are going thru.. there might be some problem with your endo or other parts of the reproductive system. Its better that the doctor will advice you on how to make things normal.
