| More support needs to be given to
women with fibroids and research in
to alternative treatment methods -
everything available today seems to
be intrusive and/or has side effects.
A hysterectomy can not be the only
solution surely?! Support more
research, help more woman live a
pain free life absent of fibroids. |

| My name is John Hsiao from Canton China. I am so pleased to tell you that
my teacher who's from Taiwan can cure fibroid easily using Chinese acupuncture
(Direct contact moxibustion) without any surgery.
I was shocked so many women suffered from fibroid and helpless at the
current moment. So please response to contact me asap and save so many globaly. |

| Fibroids can really affect
women's lives to the point
that they have to take time of
work. They can also cause
anaemia which then causes them
to be susceptible to infection
which also means time of work.
Fibroids need to be researched
and new treatments developed
to stop women form having to
deal with this problem. |

| I've been diagnosed with multiple
fibroids and an enlarged uterus. I'm
47 and have no children. The
treatment suggested - hysterectomy.
Shocking that this was only treatment
suggested. He eventually prescribed
Esmya for 3 months, but didn't say
whether this would have long-term
beneficial effect, only that it was a
pre-surgery treatment. Really
unsatisfactory and unhelpful. Second
opinion required and more research
into this condition. |

| I have recently been diagnoised with a large fibroid - 10cm in diameter. As a result I am very anaemic, but iron tablets (600mg per day) are not restoring my iron levels sufficiently, and I am due to see a consultant to find out what my options are. The size of the fibroid is causing me other problems too. It presses on my bladder and is also causing back pain. Further research is needed. I have been active and healthy all my life, but the impact of this fibroid on my quality of life has been immense. Further research and support for women with fibroids is necessary and long overdue. |

| I am under the gynaecologist with fibroids. I am told the largest is the size of a 5 month pregnancy. With the symptoms I can believe it. They have discussed an hysterectomy, but I would like to know about other less extreme options. I do feel its that " oh well your over 40, so lets whip it out".
We definitely need more research in the treatment of fibroids. They affect so many women. |

| I had 13 fibroids removed 8 years
ago - I was 35. One had strangled an
ovary and my fertility due to this and
scarring was compromised. I have
not been able to have children. I am
now facing more surgery as they are
back - research and support is much
needed |

| I started my periods 33 years ago and have not stopped suffering since. Extremely heavy, couldn\\\'t leave the house as I bled so heavily and in so much pain. I took Feminax at the time which would knock me out and take some of the pain away. When my children were in nappies, I would wear one during the night as my bleeding was so heavy with huge liver sized clots coming out. I was diagnosed eventually with fibroids about 8-10 years ago and I was sent to see a \\\'specialist\\\' at the hospital. The \\\'man\\\' told me I shouldn\\\'t be having pain with fibroids and dismissed me. I went home in tears and have suffered since. I have just changed doctors and seen a lovely doctor who referred me for a scan, I am basically riddled with fibroids. I am now waiting for treatment but at last something is being done. I kept having time off work as I was in absolute agony, couldn\\\'t walk and had to use the loo every 15 minutes to change and that\\\'s with a huge night time towel plus largest tampon together. More care is needed for women. |
