Hello Diana,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am so glad that you reached out to us with your concern. I can appreciate your concern that this might indicate cancer, but I do not think that is very likely.

Have you spoken with your gynecologist about the mid cycle spotting that has occurred since the tubal ligation? If you have not, please do so as soon as possible.

According to information on the Feminist Women's Health Center located in Atlanta, Georgia, " Some women report having post-tubal sterilization syndrome. The symptoms include irregular and painful periods, mid-cycle bleeding, or no periods. While some physicians believe there is no evidence that this syndrome exists, others believe more research should be done."

Each woman is unique and I urge you to speak with your doctor. You may be experiencing post-tubal sterilization syndrome. Getting an answer will give you peace of mind.

Regards,
Maryann
