| I wonder if it were a condition affecting men whether more research would have been done? |

| My sister had 3 large fibroids and on
the operating table the surgeon has to
remove her left fallopian tube. Today
she is 40 and does not have children
and her chances of having them are
slim now. I too have been diagnosed
with 2 large fibroids and the NHS
specialist has straight away asked me
to undergo an open invasive surgery to
remove the fibroids which will increase
my chances of having a baby. After
having stumbled on this forum, I have
no decided to find some alternatives to
surgery and would urge the NHS to
increase research on removing fibroids
without resorting to surgery. |

| Lack of awareness from GPs. Give
conflicting advice when fibroid
diagnosed. Fibroid dectected after
having a miscarriage. Paid to see
private consultant and paid privately
to have it removed. Been a difficult 4
months and have felt very alone in all
of this. Shocking how many woman
are affected and yet carry on
regardless. |

| In my experience, the consultants have different opinions on Fibroids stating the pain is just a cramp & lost of woman have no symptoms!
There are lots of woman who do have symptoms & are in pain every day - This needs more research |

| Please do more research into this,
having to have a hysterectomy
myself because of them and living
with them is emotionally draining on
your mental well being. |

| 'Women's Problems' are a joke, something that men laugh about but the reality for many women is far from funny. Very little is known about what causes fibroids yet the quality of many women's lives is severely impacted by them. I've lost a job because of them. More research needs to be done so that women don't suffer unnecessarily. |

| As a nurse - as a woman - you'd
think I'd have known more.
Information about the menopause
& what is normal perimenopause
is so sparse. So when I was
tired, I thought
perimenopause... When my
menstrual flow changed I
thought perimenopause. (So did
the 1st GP who sent me away
without any investigations). It
wasn't till I was persuaded to
see another GP 2 yrs later that
I knew I had a fibroid: at this
time my haemoglobin had fallen
to dangerously low levels. I am
a mother of 5 children... 4 of
whom are girls. This situation
is not acceptable.
Education NEEDS to be better.
Research is required as
prevention is better (& usually
cheaper) than treatment in the
long run. |
