What Causes Abdominal And Stomach Pain Since Tubal Ligation?

I had a tubal ligation about 2 years ago. Every since the procedure was done I have had abdominal and stomach pain nearly everyday. What would cause this and would a reversal help? Also bein that its something medical would it be considered an elective procedure?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The commonest cause of pain in abdomen on daily basis after tubal ligation 2 years back can be adhesion or scar as are said to be.
Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure and it can create scar tissue and adhesion of the intestine or other tissues around the operation site near the tubes or the incision in the abdominal wall.

I would advise the following:
Get a CTscan and Enteroclysis meaning barium studies done.
The best procedure in such cases is Diagnostic Laparoscopy and procedure if needed like adhesiolysis or removal of the scar.
This gives the best chance to diagnose and treat too.
