Anyone else had both ovaries out?

Hey all, so due to Endo and PMDD I had a hysterectomy on 1st August. Last minute paranoia meant I decided to keep an ovary.

My PMDD has returned and I’ve been getting pains in my lonesome ovary. Really struggling if I’m honest and have gyne next week. I know they are going to offer to take the other ovary.

Anyone’s experiences I’d welcome please. ESP those who are ok with no ovaries. Thank you ☺️

Hi

If you do decide to have op try and make sure they check everywhere for Endo, bowel etc., and adhesions. It’s no good taking ovary if they leave Endo anywhere.

I had everything out when I had hysterectomy but was 51 so it was totally different for me.

hey I’m sorry you’re going through this too. I’m 41. Have they advised you the prostap acts more or less the same as having ovaries out? X
