My PMS symptoms were not the reason for my hysterectomy. I was having SEVERE-stay-in-bed for three days pain during my period, which was lasting for a couple of weeks then reappearing a week later.
I have found though that I do not have the mood swings that I was having, I don't have the weird chocolate/salt cravings every month, no monthly skin issues, no headaches or fluid retention.
I did experience some vaginal dryness in the beginning, but that has gotten better.
The biggest downside is that I have no sex drive whatsoever. But, I think that started before the hysterectomy because it HURT. I just haven't quite gotten past that.
I tried an ablation first, which did nothing for me. I continued to have long painful periods.
My doctor leaves one ovary (if possible). He looked at them and left the "best" one, in his words.
