Review access to hysterectomies for women with PMDD & chronic conditions

Petition Details

PMDD can be managed but some women find the best option can be to remove their ovaries. However, many find you have to fight to access surgery. If it is a chronic condition I think women should be able to make that decision with no struggle.

Additional Information

I have spent 10 years getting a diagnosis, tried many drugs, have 10 day migraines and due to it being related to hormones I find no pain relief works. It affects my work, my family and is exhausting. It seems that a man can request and have the operation to be made infertile a lot quicker, with fewer questions asked, but for someone like me I feel that it’s more to do with what the medical professionals think. I think I should be allowed to easily decide if I wish to take this decision. If I could I would have it done and have a better quality of life.
