My mental health is a ton better after surgery. I got it done when I was 28 and I don't deal with PMS at all anymore.

I think most doctors are hesitant to remove ovaries in women with bipolar. It's just very risky that they'd have uncontrolled mood swings. I suppose if you could do hormone replacement but that can cause mood swings too and not everyone can do it. That's what my surgeon told me anyway.
