| I think better research and
funding should be made
available for all women from
age 30\\\'s to advise the risk
of
fertility with fibroids and
reduce invasive treatment such
as surgery. I am 42 and
married last September. I am
trying with little joy for a
child (my first). At age 37 I
underwent myomectony the only
choice other than hysterectomy
for a very large uterus
fibroid to save my fertility I
was advised I had a successful
outcome despite three months
of monthly injections to
reduce it prior to surgery I
was not with anyone at the
time so my chances of getting
pregnant were nil. I met my
husband a couple of years ago
and we were married September
2015 however despite attempts
to get pregnant the normal way
is not appearing to work for
us there doesn\\\'t seem to be
any attempts from numerous
visits to my gp to refer us to
a fertility clinic and I feel
our chances are running out. I
would love to have children
and gutted not being able to
have information available to
me at an age when I may have
been able to do more to help
myself I suffer with stomach
pains even now 5 years post
surgery and although I am told
am still producing progestogen
our chances of having a baby
are slim . |

| I am 50 now and been suffering with
fibroids for 15 years. My life is
becoming unbearable and only a few
days ago I visited a private consultant
about problems with my bladder. The
consultant believed my problems are
related to me having fibroids.
Concerned about negative impact of
current treatments on offer hence my
continued suffering. One time I was
just sent away and told to take pain
killers. I am bloated, fatigued and in
pain much of the time now. I don't
know what to do for the best. Waiting
for urgent referral to main hospital for
about the fifth time. |

| Surely research is overdue. It is destroying lives. In general there should be more education for young girls, possibly as part of sex education where provided. Embarrassing that fibroid is still so ignored by the govt and medics because it does not kill you. |

| Having suffered with fibroids with a
long time, I would like to see more
research into effective, less invasive
procedures to alleviate the
symptoms. |

| Fibroids should be taken much more
seriously. They can cause terrible
difficulties for sufferers in many ways.
I see my own daughter suffer in the
same way I have and I feel strongly
that this should not be happening. |

| Being told that a hysterectomy
is your only option at the age
of 36 is heartbreaking. |

| Fibroid is stopping many women
from conceiving and so the
government ought to put fibroids
in the top of agenda for
research funding for better
scheme for early detection and
non invasive treatments |
