I had my tubes tied. Now I have a period every 14 days. It has been like this for over a year. I am 38. Had normal periods every month before this. Is this normal? Or do I need to see my doctor or by stock in tampax?
Answer:
Hi
How long ago did you have your tubes tied before this change in cycle pattern?
As we age our cycle patterns change and tying of your tubes could have nothing to do with your menstral changes.
How long is your bleeding lasting? How heavy is the flow? Are you becoming extremely tired? Is there an unusal ordor to your menstral flow? If the bleeding has occured since the tubal ligation, then maybe there is some retained placenta that the body has not been able to discharge. There is usually an odor associated with this, but not necessarily.
What is the menopausal pattern of the women in your family?
A visit to your doctor will help work through this problem.
You need to change doctors. With a period every 14 days, you are flirting with anemia.
Really it's not unusual to have erratic periods after you have had a tubal ligation. You can buy stock in Tampax AND see your doctor. Bleeding that much might be taking a toll on your iron stores in your blood. You and I can probably take over the company that owns Tampax. LOL
The tubal may have a role in this, but as does your age. As we reach our mid to late 30's our periods change quite a bit.
I would speak to your gynecologist about this and also have you iron levels tested (depending on how heavy and long lasting it is).
