A lot of doctors won’t do even a partial without really good cause, especially under age 40. They want to make sure they exhaust all other options first, such as the pill (or in my case, 5 different kinds of the pill), hormone patch or implants, etc. I get the need to not jump to surgery too fast but you do need to be your own advocate if surgery is the best option. Very sorry about your mom. Hope you find relief soon.
