2003.	N.M	Ross on wye	I had miscarriage which was almost certainly due to fibroids. I paid privately to have them removed and within 4 months I was pregnant and carried twins full term. They are now 2 years old and my pain started again, heavy agonising periods so I wasn't surprised after an ultrasound to discover I had a large fibroid again. What causes these. More research needs to be done!!!

1999.	L.M	Melton Constable	I suffer from A particular type of Fibroid which is causing me daily problems however I have been frightened off by my Gynecologist. It took me a long time to even get to see one and now I feel they are not taking my problems seriously. More support and research is definitely needed in order to improve women's health so we can keep working.
1998.	C.R	Caernarfon	I find attitudes to be very dismissive towards fibroids - but realistically how healthy is it to carry something the size of a melon inside of you - sometimes even larger than that even! Most doctors jump on to the bandwagon of hysterectomy without looking at other options. Needs further research and also doctors need to be educated!

1989.	A.D	Southampton	I have suffered with fibroids for many years - which is why i am 49 and childless, i am awaiting an appointment at the moment with gyno to arrange yet another removal - waiting time 6 weeks with daily flooding and feeling so tired i asked the doctor could she speed it up and she looked at me as if to say what! and then said 6 weeks is not long - try living with it then - furious!

1986.	J.P	Cardiff	I always swore I would never have a hysterectomy unless I had cancer & it was absolutely necessary, times are changing as there are alternatives available but it does appear that for some Gynaecologists Hysterectomy is the "easy option". More research & non invasive treatments have to be the way forward surely?
