QuestionThe last three or four months, I have not had a full period, cramping, associated breast pain and pms, but light brown and pink spotting no period. I have my tubes tied and havent had sex in over a year, I am about to turn thirty nine and am concerned. Any ideas?
AnswerYou are young for menopause symptoms, and I'm not familiar with the side effects of a tubal ligation in terms of this transition. You should still be having periods, so I'd ask a doctor just to be safe. The surgery certainly could have messed with your hormones, and this might be a temporary side effect. Best to be safe and ask your doctor.
