I have severe PMDD on top of Bipolar disorder. I have tried EVERY treatment available. I currently take a heavy dose of an anti-psychotic during that time of the month and my symptoms are still raging. My normally stable illness goes haywire from the time I ovulate to the end of my period (about 2 weeks every month). My swings have gotten so bad that its putting my marriage on the rocks. I'm clingy and ultra insecure and I blow up at the slightest thing. My husband says he's had enough of it. Will a hysterectomy get rid of this? I'm DESPERATE for this to stop. If it doesn't I'm probably going to loose my marriage! Please help!
I've tried talking to my doctor and she (and every other gynecologist I've seen) refuse to perform any type of surgery on me because they think I'll want kids someday and don't want to take the "risk of liability". They also say I'm too young (I'm 21) to make a "life changing decision". My point is that if I can't keep my marriage and my moods get so bad that I start having a hard time at work (I'm a fraud analyst for a major credit card bank) then I wouldn't have any quality of life to raise a child anyway.

As for "life changing decisions" I've made enough of those already by 21 to know how to think for myself. My quality of life has diminished significantly because of this, surgery would be a responsible option!
