Long story short, I suffer from PMDD which stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It is an incredibly severe form of PMS that has ruined my life further ever since I hit puberty. The primary symptoms are constant mood swings, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. It doesn't go away once I get my period and in fact will persist throughout the duration of the cycle which for me can be up to 2 weeks due to a form of hemophilia. The symptoms start long before I get it, sometimes as long as three months before and once the cycle is over, the process of misery repeats itself. Essentially, I am in constant agony because of menses and this condition.

I have tried numerous forms of birth control including pills, shots, and an IUD; none of which have worked to both stop the bleeding and the mental anguish accompanying it. My last two options my doctor will consider are a second implant that goes in my arm or a patch that gets replaced weekly. If neither of these end up working, there's one last, desperate solution—a radical hysterectomy.

My problem is that I am only 20 years old, have never had children (nor plan to), do not have fibroids, do not have endometriosis, and don't suffer from cancer. Due to all of these factors, doctors downright refuse to even consider this an option for me because they believe that I will want to be a mother. I have said countless times that I never want children now and never have wanted children in the past. This is the route I ultimately want to take because it is the only true option to getting rid of a majority of my anguish once and for all.

I have to fight in order for this to be considered and it sickens me; and the question is: who will help me to achieve this goal, I.E, what doctor would be willing to perform this operation for me as to help me recover mentally? If there is a doctor out there that is willing, where do I find one?

My friend said he would help me but I feel I need a more immediate and direct answer to this question.

hysterectomies throw a body into menopause and worse immediately and cause a shit ton of comorbid issues that will follow/debilitate you the rest of your life. theres about 5000 legitimate medical reasons to not perform one on a 20yo who hasnt exhausted every other option. birth control is extremely finicky to find the perfect solution. hormone stability is a long game and requires a lot of time, i can only recommend you continue trying various options that are not removing an entire organ. try a hormone specialist.

If what you are experiencing is related to hormones, you might be able to experiment with hormone blockers or other drugs that might simulate menopause. If this provides some relief, there could be a medication solution for you. If it doesn't produce relief, then surgery might be ineffective anyway.

Yikes! I am so sorry you are going through this. I am trans and all I know is a historectomy I don;t think it the answer due to the issues above. I am not a doctor, but I can;t imagine that will help because they will probably have to put you on HRT or you might age prematurely

Maybe anti depressants could help. My doctor just raised mine to 150 mg effexor. I dont know, but I hope you find something without historectomy.:heart: hugs Renee
