Hysterectomy at 25

My doctor finally okayed me for the surgery, I have so much pain ofc. I cannot handle birth control, partly why I've gone to this. It gets completely impossible for me to function on it, and it gives me hives. (Have been diagnosed bipolar, I manage decently without meds as long as I avoid triggers, this being one. I'm sure that has to do with it. The bipolar meds messed me up bad as well) I also see the risks especially at a young age, I don't want kids ofc.

I am scared of hormone imbalance, that's my biggest worry. I already have hormone imbalance, I have PCOS as well. I obviously see the statistics online about up to 33% of ovary failure within years of a partial hysterectomy.

I've been dealing with it for multiple years, I don't know what else to do. Nausea multiple times a week pain almost every day, I can feel the pressure on the rest of my body. Lots of other visits to GI doctors, ruling other things out.

It's very scary seeing all the women saying that they aged 5 years after they had it though, even keeping the ovaries. They saw it on an ultrasound years ago, it's gotten so much worse since then.

I feel like it should be slightly less of a worry because part of adenomyosis is ofc too much estrogen right? Kind of gone to the point that I would rather die than keep dealing with this though, tbh.

Any info would help

Have had it for years, treatment resistant, multiple gis found nothing wrong. So many different scans, procedures, meds for it, it gets worse around certain times of the month I've noticed. My doctor won't even believe me when I tell her I think it's from my adenomyosis
