Ladies, have symptoms related to your monthly cycle changed?

Guys, you won't want to read this... I apologize for being so graphic. I am pre-op but very curious about any possible improvements in the monthly cycle after surgery. I am 31 years old, and have never been regular. I may have a period one month and may not have another for 4 or 5 months. During my period I am always in excruciating pain and almost always require a day or 2 off work (which is why I'm home today). I also bleed very heavily, normally soaking through pads in less than an hour. I can't use tampons because they hurt me. Also, during my period I have to walk squeezing my legs together, and sit very slowly and carefully because I feel like my insides are falling out. Does anyone else have this dramatic of a cycle? And does it improve after surgery?? Thanks so much for your help. :-)
