broken hips.

fatial complications from broken hips are common in older women.

I haven't researched everything, but understand that it has to do with blood clotting and that the hip bones make so much of our blood.

It sounds weird to think that someone could die form a broken bone, but it true.

Also, it's thought that women don't always "fall" and break their hip, but that the hip bone breaks "on it's own under our bodies wiegth". Then of course the women falls....

It's also been reported women breaking wrist bones by leaning on the wrist, etc...

Upon learning that I was post meno one of the first things I did was to have a bone scan.

I'm boarderline osteoporosis. Hip measures -1.25.
(this is when I was 36). I do not belive my bone mass was at this rate before my TL. It is proven that meno causes bone loss, that the doctor cut my viens to my ovaries, and that he did not treat me for over two years.

I belive that that bone loss and osteoporosis is a very important issue here and that the study, over time, will show a higher rate and more servre cases of osteoporosis in older post tubal women.

Take the Tubal Ligation I.Q. Test Are you outraged? Feel as though you and other women were not (are not) being informed? Think that a class action lawsuit should be filed on behalf of post tubal women because information was and still is being withheld by the ACOG! The CPTwomen invites all reading this forum to join the CPTwomen and communicate with us at the members' forum. All posting here and conversation here has been moved to the members' forum.

CPTwomen members have testified in front of the IL and CA Court, the IL Gov. Task Force, the Sunset Review Committee, (Senator Liz Figueroa), NOW, and more. What occurred has been made a matter of public record. The CPTwomen are making public the issues which millions of other women have faced in silence. Issues such as women are not informed at the time of their tubal ligation that there is a risk of hormonal imbalance occurring. For the CPTwomen to continue its mission to move this issue to the forefront of government, we must ask for a small contribution/subscription fee from all those who wish to communicate with us and participate at the Coalition's Bulletin Board
