| ----- Original Message ----- From: DrHufnagel To: CPTwomen Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 11:49 PM Subject: PTLS and reversal Women write and call asking about REVERSAL. I have written about this on the forum in my web sites and on www.tubal.org. I wrote a chapter on this topic over 100 pages. My editor was pissed I wrote so much on the topic. Now I realize I can do a whole book with ease on this. The final book will have PTLS cases. I want to have at least 10 to include. Susan has been writing hers for years. I am enclosing here a picture of PTLS. This is a drawing showing normal on one side. The other side shows what happens in PTLS.
This following drawing shows the ovary
functioning. The blood and receptor area around the ovary.
This following drawing shows PTLS . You can see why it does not work to just reverse. The uterus is enlarged with adenomyosis. The ovary is not functional . Adhesions filled the pelvis. The glands in the cervix are gone.
The changes in the uterus are corrected by
FRS not by reversal.
This shows that Reversal does not deal with the issues of PTLS. Reversal does NOT correct
PTLS... Did you read that .??? I have been writing and talking about this for years and women do not listen. I spend hours talking to women and they dont listen. Putting the tubes back together does NOT fix all the things that go wrong after a tubal ligation. I am repeatly asked, "if I get a reversal, will all my sympotms reverse?" I repeat, reversal does NOT correct PTLS. I will have to write this section to somehow make it more clear. To be brief, here are the points for those that have not or refuse to listen Tubal reversal does not fix 1. Hormonal Imbalance
Tubal reversal does not fix this... 2. Increased rates of prolapse and retroversion Tubal reversal does not correct this... 3. Pelvic Adhesions Tubal reversal does not correct this... 4. 80% have Adenomyosis Tubal reversal does not correct this... 5. Periovarain sclerosis Tubal reversal does not correct this... These are just a few I am including much information about Post Tubal Ligation
Syndrome (PTLS), in my new book, "No More Menopause", and will be
writing with Susan a book, "The Cassandra Syndrome - The Hormonal
Holocaust" soon. This information will be elaborated on in the upcoming
on-line books. |
