| I have just had a scan which showed
5 fibroids some small some large.
Phoned GP no further action needed!
I have 4 sisters with histerectomies
because they left them in there until
they grew to the size of a coconut.
Made an app with my GP to discuss,
luckily the lady who gave me the
scan told me what I had!! |

| Sufferer of this condition, the only option doctors want to give you once you do not want children is a hysterectomy. this isn't good enough. |

| I believe a lot more research should
be done. People die from this
disease in Africa. |

| I have been suffering with excruciating period pain and very heavy bleeding for 2.5 years and have recently been diagnosed with 2 fibroids. One inside and one outside my uterus. I'm shocked at how they are played down by both the Drs I have seen and the UK health websites. I was fitted with a mirena coil today and am really hoping to get a less painful life back as a result. More research and more accurate public information about the suffering we experience please! |

| There should be more research and
help given to women suffering from
fibroid. After episodes of being
anaemic and being off work, no one
actually diagnosed the fibroids in the
Uk. If I had not gone abroad and
have the same anaemic attack and
seeing an interventionist who
diagnosed the fibroids I will still be
suffering. Back to the UK an option of
watchful waiting was given and at this
point the anaemia was accompanied
by bladder issues and pelvic pain but
no one took any of it seriously. I
finally had to go private to be listened
to and now I have had a
myomectomy done..just recovering
from it just now |

| I am 29 years old and was
diagnosed with a fibroid a few
months ago. My life has been very
affected by the side effects.More
research into this problem is
needed. |

| Scarily after a 10 minute consultation the
consultant said "let's just take it out"
meaning a total abdominal hysterectomy.
No other alternatives were even
mentioned let alone offered. Really? Why
are the alternatives not considered when
there are many? |
