PMS: PMS is secondary to the fluctuations in the hormone levels and your brain’s response to that. The uterus does not produce any hormones and therefore a hysterectomy changes very little of a patient’s hormonal ups and downs. Hyst will help with bleeding and pain issues but it would be unlikely to resolve severe PMS. For that you may need removal of the ovaries.
