| My life stops every month for several days and has for approx. twenty years due to one small, very inconvenient and annoying fibroid. I take tablets on prescription that are meant to help, but don't and also take Maca capsules! |

| Fibroids can ruin a woman\'s quality of
life, effectively resulting in major
internal bleeding every month. This
must be treated as the life diminishing
and possibly ruining condition it is, with
its often devastating effect on fertility,
general health, intimacy and ability to
lead a manageable quality of life.
Prevention and wider education about
this condition should be priorities.
Most women under 25 do not know
what fibroids are, though around 20%
will have begun to develop them at that
stage. Treatments come too late, are
too invasive (as well as major surgery,
the associated pre-surgery drugs which
stop ovulation with little or no effect on
the fibroid), poor availability of senior
consultants to provide an individualised
approach to a patient\'s needs -
factsheets and newly qualified
inexperienced junior doctors the only
contact for a woman facing a major life
decision re treatment. There is also no
follow-up post operatively of the
progress of the condition, which may
be gradually returning again. As a
fibroid sufferer I have experienced all of
the above first-hand, including major
surgery. Most women do not have the
two months required to recover from
this operation, or the home support for
this to be an option. |

| I think it is crucial to do more
research about fibroids as I am one
of those ladies that has badly
suffered from them and sadly time is
ticking until I have the big op... Not
great really! |

| I have had fibroids for well over 15 years and have received scant sympathy or interest from male doctors/consultants who either want to go for hysterectomy or for me to go away. At least two were rude and dismissive. Thanks to persistence I have recently seen a female consultant who recommended using another trust to consider UAE and my female GP has referred me to a trust which offers UAE - I have wanted this for years!
I do think that the attitude of male medical practitioners needs to change |

| As a sufferer of Fibroids more
seminars and awareness and
education on fibroids should be
offered so you know your choices |

| Further research is essential.
Fibroids make many women's' lives a
misery and are one reason why they
fail to reach their full potential work |
