| Many women suffer from fibroids and it can have a negative impact on their quality of life. In the long run with sufficient research the NHS will save money on surgery that may not be necessary and educate women on their living practices to prevent them from getting worse. I have had two operations and taken time off work to manage and remove my fibroids over three years. The government should encourage pharmaceutical companies to conduct research too and offer grants to universities to enable advancement of the condition. Especially as women are having children later and the population is getting older. I do hope that research will be possible. |

| I have only just yesterday
been diagnosed with a large
fibroid and the the need for
an urgent hysterectomy. I am
42 and have 2 lovely children
but for this to happen is such
a major shock. I haven\'t has
a period for 10 years due to
being on the mini pill and
then having such a heavy bleed
was so frightening. I had to
be rushed to hospital from
work (in court) of all places
was humiliating and scary.
Since leaving hospital
yesterday I have seen my GP
and doing more research on the
internet, I came across this
site. Nobody knows why
fiboids occur and it does
effect a large majority of
women as does breast cancer
but I agree that there is not
alot of publicity about
fibroids. I would love if
this change and give more
women a chance to save their
feminity if possible. |

| My own doctor and hospital consultant both assumed heavy bleeding and pain wassimply down to my age,50.Doctor at hospital told me that because i had been taking the pill for years i could not have fibroids.However after physical exam he told me i had enlarged womb and fibroids so now awaiting scan and will be injected with hormones to shrink fibroids before next appt in 4 months when he intends to arrange hysterectomy.When i asked if keyhole surgery was not an option he laughed and said that i shouldnt believe everything i read on the internet and that it wasnt an option.Do not have any confidence that I am getting best advice or treatment. |
