| Only recently diagnosed with
large fibroids. They make my
life miserable and the only
option seems to be major
surgery. It would be
wonderful to know what caused
them and if I could have done
something to avoid getting
them in the first place. More
research is needed! |

| More research is needed
especially as not all doctors
even gynaecologists seem to
understand the condition. With
our system where you often see
a different doctor each
appointment you get many
different opinions which
contradict and leave the
patient very confused. |

| The trust is doing a very good job,
helping woman going throught this
is very important. Hope they will be
given the chance to continue to do
the good thing they are doing for
everyone expecially women. Thanks
very much. |

| Living in London meant that
once I reported my symptoms to
my GP I was sent for immediate
medical diagnosis and
treatment to help with the
terrible symptoms of fibroids,
but more research should
to be done to improve
awareness, diagnosis,
treatment, GP follow up care
on progress (very poor), and
where to go for help and
support. |

| I would like to know how to treat a
fibroid without it effecting fertlity and
for more treatment options to be
available on the NHS prior to having
severe symptoms |

| We need to more research into
fertility sparing options for
the treatment of fibroids so
that the human rights of women
are protected; i.e. the right
to family life.
Other countries are far more
advanced in the treatment
options available for fibroids
such as the USA and the UK
should strive to become a
leading authority into the
research of fibroids rather
than look upon other countries
to take the lead in this vital
medical research needed by so
many women both in the UK and
around the world. |

| I have suffered all my adult
life with fibroids and had
every treatment available -
other than a hysterectomy. I
am now 52, 25 years after my
first fibroid was diagnosed
and removed and menopausal but
I still have several large
fibroids that require
treatment - no signs of the
promised shrinkage due to age.
I have suffered pain, aneamia
and debilitation and the
horror of always looking 5
months pregnant - which I have
to say is not a good look for
a woman of my age. I refuse to
have major surgery as I cant
be away from my job for that
long. So I suffer in silence |

| More research is needed and a
system should be in place for early
detection in non-symptomatic
patients. |
