Should I have my ovaries removed at 26!

Hi all

I am looking for some advice I've had my third laparoscopic surgery to remove endometriosis. However I am again starting to feel the effects again and am feeling so down about it. I have made the decision in my head that I would like to have my ovaries removed to try and help things and start to feel more normal me and my partner are set on adoption in any case as a way of having a family regardless.

I am hoping to have a course of zoladex and then hopefully have the ovaries removed. Had any one had this done or have any advise ? Does it help? I am with Norfolk and Norwich endometriosis centre and they are fantastic but just wanted some advice from people who have actually been through it themselves Thanks xxx
