Hi! Also posted this on women's health as I'm not sure where is best to post. Long time lurker but first time posting. I'm 36 and suffering with PMDD badly, tried the pill, ssri's, coil, everything I can, and I'm now so desperate to get my life back that I want a full hysterectomy with oophorectomy. I do understand a surgical menopause won't be easy, but nothing can be as bad as the hell of PMDD over the years, half the month of every month I end up with intrusive thoughts, suicidal thoughts, crippling anxiety (take ssri and propanalol but it's not enough). I'm on tranexamic acid monthly because I'm horrendously heavy. Already been sterilised. I've had lletz in the last year for CIN3, I just want to be free of it all and have a happy life with my children. Could I please ask anyone who has been through this, did they insist on making you have gnrh injections before they would agree to a hysterectomy? I'm so sensitive to hormones that I'm scared to have to adjust to them and hrt only to then have to re adjust to a different hrt after the menopause. I'm feeling so lost and low any advice would be so appreciated, thankyou x
