Petitioner's Opinions To Support For A Call For Fibroid Research & Education Act.
Signature No. Petitioner Locality Opinions
2420.  J.E.D Cottingham
2419.  C.L London There is got to be better understanding as having fibroids can make life harder and is not seen as something to be worried about, but it is. More research is needed, there needs to be alternative treatments, especially non-surgical. I feel particularly helpless as i suffered with fibroids for too long, the were diagnosed when i was 22years old, im now 32. I have had a myomectomy, UFE and neither helped as they came back, i cannot have any hormone contraception treatment or IUD's, they are so large i cannot have Laparoscopy surgery either. I had a very difficult and dangerous pregnancy and now my uterus did not shrink after delivery of my baby and they continue to grow, i feel like i cannot cope!
2418.  C.E London
2417.  L.A Manchester
2416.  J.S Birmingham Research in to the prevalence of UF, particularly among Black women, is critical in my view. I'm interested in research that looks at the role of diet and lifestyle in prevention and treatment. I'm also interested in finding out more about hormonal imbalances such as estrogon dominance, and contraception as possible causes.
2415.  C.G Dunblane
2414.  K.H St ives

2412.  H.P Congleton I have suffered for years with fibroids. Told to try various treatments and ops stopping short of hysterectomy. Also told 7 years ago that they would shrink after menopause. They grew massive instead and now have no option but to have hysterectomy shortly due to unbearable symptoms
2411.  J.K Reading
2410.  N.V.M Hurstpierpoint This topic is hugely important - women and men are affected because women may be so tired due to heavy periods but think that this is 'normal' because nobody talks about it.My mother wore diapers at one point. It has affected my childhood. Women affected have compromised working and family life because of the loss of blood. They buy sanitary products and simply double up (pad and tampon). A side consequence of this is environmental impact through waste. A drastic solution is a hysterectomy and sadly even a myemectomy is almost not worth it because the fibroids grow back. We need to know more about the causes and how to prevent fibroids.
2409.  F.G Twickenham
2408.  G.R Bootle
2407.  K.K Thurlstone
2406.  J.W LEEK
2405.  D.J BIRMINGHAM
2404.  L.M Dunton Green In recovery from myomectomy, could have been avoidable had my gp not ignored my symptoms. As covered briefly on This Morning, more awareness needs to be raised to help women suffering terribly.
