1830.	C	Hertford	Last year I missed a period for 4 months, after all the usual pregnancy tests came back negative, was told its my age and to deal with it (was 42 at the time and no kids as yet) I argued back with my doctor that was wrong to say that. Finally had a scan and have 2 fibroids 2cm each in size. Have not had a regular period since, always late and is heavy and full of clots and painful but nothing will be done as doctors just don\\\'t care or understand. More needs to be done!

1826.	J.K	Edinburgh	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!!

1819.	J.B	Wootton Bassett	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!

1817.	A.M	Aberdeen	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
