The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) publicly denies that tubal ligations cause such conditions as post tubal syndrome (PTS), or hormonal imbalances.

This issue can be directly compared to the tobacco companies withholding information from the public. The only difference here is when people developed health problems from smoking they were not required to return directly the tobacco people for help and health treatment. When women develop post tubal syndrome (PTS) they have no choice but to return to the same ob-gyn doctors and their organization (the ACOG) that withheld the information from them initially.

Fact:  Tubal ligations are known by the ACOG and their members to cause hormonal imbalances and other side effects.   The ACOG does not deny that there are studies that show and prove side effects such as hormonal changes. Side effects have been proven through clinical research and studies, and have been reported by health professionals and victims who have witnessed and experienced side effects first hand after tubal ligations for decades.  The ACOG is well aware of the  cases and scientific reports, yet they refuse to publicly acknowledge the scientific findings.  If publicly asked about post tubal syndrome or the proving studies they state that the studies are "unproven", have been "disproven", that there is "controversy", or that the this issue is "controversial" … Yes, they are right it is controversial!

The ACOG calls themselves, "The Women's Health Care Physicians".

They are to have women's best interest in mind… (physical health and otherwise)

They are to "watch out" for women and women's health… But then you learn that the ACOG and their members withholds this information from women undergoing tubal ligations and from the public at large.

No one is informed before or afterwards.

Women are told afterwards that their current health condition could in no way have been caused by the tubal ligation surgery when there is no other cause.

"this is a multimillion dollar industry and the boys KNOW they are hurting women…" Dr. V Hufnagel, MD

The ACOG and their members know that when tubal ligation surgeries are performed that many of the women will be returning for second and third surgeries such as D&C's and hysterectomies because of side effects from the TL. The very same organization/ob-gyn doctors that withheld the information and profited by doing so then go on to profit again from the original consumer fraud. Women are not informed at the time of their TL that the surgery could create such conditions that would necessitate such treatments. Women are told at the time of these second and third surgical producers that their tubal ligation surgery had in no way caused their health condition that necessitated such radical procedures.
