Perhaps you can see if you are/can become eligible for gender dysphoria treatment, which could involve hormones and/or surgery. I have zero idea how that works in the UK; I know here it has to do with whether insurance covers it. But it might be worth looking into, since it sounds like you have issues and distress both with your assigned gender, your body being biologically female, as well as with the mental health symptoms you have related to having a female reproductive system. That seems to me to be plenty of reason for a doctor to refer you to whatever process is involved in you not being ok with your biological/birth gender and its associated physical consequences. So again, I don't know how feasible that is, but that might be a direction to consider. And although I imagine the process is very complicated and involved, and they'd want to make sure you for sure were wanting such treatment, I would also imagine it's probably easier than convincing a doctor to remove your entire reproductive system. It's probably worth at least asking your doctor about or researching a little bit.
