Tubes tied - did you stop bleeding?

[Anonymous]

Regardless of why you had your fallopian tubes removed, did you stop having a period or spotting?

You still have ovaries.

Why? The ovaries secrete the hormones that control the menstrual cycle. High school biology.

I’m asking about personal experiences not high school biology.

I suggest you do a little google of the reproductive system. Having your tubes tied does not affect the cyclical changes in the lining of the uterus (which is driven by hormones/ovaries).

If you still have your uterus... and your body is still producing the correct hormones... having a knot in your tubes is not relevant to what the lining of the uterus is doing.

Tubes have been tied for 7 years and I'm still getting my period.

It doesn't affect your period. I ended up getting an IUD because my periods were so bad, so now I'm triple protected (old, with tubes tied and an IUD).

[Anonymous]

Nope. Mine got so bad I had an ablation. Still get periods, but they are so light they are no big deal.

+1 (well 8 years for me, but you get the idea.)

I had mine removed 4 years ago and really nothing about my period changed beyond the fact that I'm now in perimenopause, as expected based on my age. I had mine removed because of strong family history of ovarian cancer but I had never had any expectation of a change in my hormones or my cycle.

This doesn't make sense to me. You had your tubes removed because you had a history of ovarian cancer. Is this a thing?
And if that was a mistake and you had your overies removed, why wouldn't you have expected a change in your hormones or your cycle?

Maybe you could clarify? I'm not understanding

Are you thinking that if the egg doesn't reach the uterus, it won't come out? That actually makes sense -- the egg will not come out. however, if you still have ovaries, you will still have a period (shedding of uterine lining mostly).

The answer of where the egg goes is pretty weird -- my OB said that most "tubal ligations" are a removal, and the egg basically just floats off into your abdomen and eventually gets scooped up by your immune system. However, women who've had tubal ligations do have a greater risk of fibroids later on.

I had my tubes tied 16 years ago and my perios still comes every month like normal.

Many ovarian cancers begin in the fallopian tubes. Removal of the ovaries has other negative side effects related to early menopause. So removing fallopian tubes reduces the risk of ovarian cancer while avoiding those negative side effects.
