| Fibroids are a source of misery for those who suffer from them thanks to the uncomfortable side-effects such as extended periods (mine has lasted 18 days so far this month and shows no sign of stopping) and pain in some cases. |

| In this modern day and age there should be non surgical alternatives to this distressing and often debilitating problem. Too many women in the UK have had to undergo needless hysterectomies. |

| Any efforts directed at
supporting this cause are in
the right direction as more
and more female lives are
interrupted due to this
illness. therefore im
signing this petition to add
to the masses of women who
are asking for more research
to be put in this effort |

| I\'ve had three years of
hell
living with ever increasing
fibroids. I was told they
would
shrink with menopause but
was
never told that whilst
waiting
for menopause they may grow
too
big to operate on. I am now
about to embark on esmya 3
months on 2 months off
until
menopause. I\'m only 47 so
this
could go on for some time. |

| More research needed! Disgraceful
lack of treatment and options
considering how many women are
affected. |

| I have seen firsthand the horrible symptoms of fibroids, and the negative effects it has on work, relationships and life in general. It seems difficult to find a sympathetic or knowledgable doctor, and my partner has been waiting a long time to see a consultant in Sheffield. Her GP recently advised her that the NHS Gynae dept has 'some issues' and to 'go private' which I thought was shocking and sad. Why isn't good treatment/service available on the NHS, which we have both paid into all our lives? |

| I wish a champion member of parliament could visit London St Marys Hospital fibroid clinic to hear stories from BME women who are the most affected by fibroids about their fears of never having a child or having their uterus removed. Leaders should put fibroids as a top agenda! |

| There is not enough support,not
enough recognition, not enough
understanding of the suffering,
pain and total lifestyle change
you have to make. I\'ve been
told that I\'m depressed when
I\'ve been extremely anemia.
I\'ve been dismissed and told
that womans bodies just go
crazy sometimes! |

| 1st case I had was in 2008 but at the time A&E convinced me it was IBS and sent me home advising I take paracetamol. Looking back I know what it was now as I had a worse experience this 03/16 and found I have loads of fibroids with the largest being 12 x 11cm along with an enlarged womb as a result. I felt under pressure to convince the NHS I felt better when admitted in order to be discharged from their care to avoid a hysterectomy (NHS genuinely provided great care by the way!)I was fortunate enough to go privately instead and have learned far more about my condition and options (private care provides the luxury of time with medical staff). My point is whilst in hospital for that week I was shocked by the volume of women in our boat and having hysterectomies daily of all ages and persuasions!!! I am proud of our NHS and fully support them but more research is definitely needed. |

| We need more research into this
area. Words cannot express the
excruciating pain,loss of
blood,the need of a blood
transfusion and copious amounts
of medicine I have been taking
to control the symptoms. We
need more detailed research
into this condition. |
