| I have suffered from
symptomatic fibroids for
years. All NHS can do is
giving me drugs that don't
work or the option of
hysterectomy. I don't know if
this is because the doctor I
saw was a male. |

| Help stop the dismissive attitudes to fibroids - No its NOT OK to put up with relentless periods/period pains NO ITS NOT OK to have a protruding belly No it's not ok to make a woman feel vain or FORCE a hysterectomy as a solution. NO ITS NOT OK to rule out fertility and rule the woman out! PUT FIBROIDS AT THE TOP OF THE AGENDA FOR RESEARCH. |

| As someone who has recently been diagnosed with (very large) uterine fibroids, I feel not enough is done to make women aware of this condition. We are aware of women's cancers, but the far more common issue of fibroids hardly gets a mention. |

| I have endometriosis and fibroids...I
suffered years on the pill w migraines
which was prescribed to control
endometriosis however I wonder if in
fact it was the pill which I took prior to
diagnosis that triggered all problems -
I have stopped the pill forever - the
fibroids are not pleasant. Heavy
prolonged periods and constant
bloating though certain foods I know I
must avoid to ease inflammation. |

| Please fund more research into this area. I have only just been diagnosed after years and years of suffering every month with worsening symptoms and infertility. It really affects my quality of life and hoping to get a solution soon. |

| Living with a sizeable fibroid, I have
only been given one option which is
to come off HRT, which improves my
quality off life , or live with continual
bleeding and discomfort. |

| It can be very distressing not
to mention painful. Much more
research is needed and more
options for sufferers. |

| Some of us wish to keep our
wombs preferring TCRF, UFE,
Myomectomy or even Diet and
Supplements. BUT once a
woman hits 50 seems the
preferred NHS option is
Hysterectomy. To remove a
significant organ is
physical, spiritual and
emotional... plus it speeds
up Menopause which isn\'t
pleasant and could last for
years. |
