Yes, yes, yes: There are many, many less drastic or permanent treatment options available for the treatment of PCOS and/or heavy and painful menses. Especially for someone of your age. Your frustration is understood and appreciated but your doctors, quite rightly, are placing the same importance on your ovaries as is afforded any other random body part. Too often, the regret that follows is life shattering.
