Oophorectomy? Will it help lessen the hormones?

My surgery is May 11. It is a DaVinci supracervical hysterectomy with a tubal removal. They say when they leave the ovaries you still experience PMS, sometimes worse than before. I already suffer from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). I'm waiting on a call back from my docs NP to see what can be done about the ovaries. Would it be logical to get them both removed and slap a HRT patch on directly? I'm confused and irritated. These last three days gave been a complete hormonal wreck and I don't want that anymore than I want the debilitating pain and excessive bleeding.

That's a hard question to answer. Surgical menopause has its own set of issues, and for some, HRT balance is a challenge. But, for others, it's a big improvement over what they suffered before. You might want to do a site search for PMDD for some experiences, and I hope others who had similar issues will chime in. Have you tried meds for your PMDD so far? If not, you may want to go that route first. This is a difficult decision, gather all the info you can, and best wishes on making the decision right for you.

I'm on lots of meds lol. I also suffer from bipolar and anxiety. My mom had the oophorectomy and did the HRT and she had no issues. I'm still waiting on the NP to call back. Luckily I have a VERY understanding S.O. and when this all goes down I will have him and my momma with me. Thank you though I will keep it updated
