| For the past 4 mths i have been having
very heavy bleeding. Loosing clots. I
visited my doctor as with having the
marina coil this was very unusual as i
dont have periods. My doctorrefered
me for a scan which resulted in them
telling me i have fibroids. I asked the
radioologist is there anything i can do.
She replied you could get the marina
coil this somtimes helps!! She failed to
recognize during my ultrasound that i
have a marina already and have done
for nearly 10 yrs.already i am feeling
very anxious as to how i can put up
with this heamoriging every 3 weeks. |

| Given the prevalence of fibroids in women, it is my belief that more should be done to raise awareness amongst women, better educate medical professionals (especially in the public sector) with regard to the full range of treatments, and carry out more research towards early detection and non-invasive treatments. |

| I had a myomectomy exactly a year ago today. Had four blood transfusions, lots of complications from the moment I woke up until a few days after, one thing after another, although I was very fit and healthy. The team were wonderful, all the surgeons and the medical teams were really great. It is not just the physical trauma to your body, but mentally too. They first found mine in 2003 and they were already 3-4 cms, waited along time for the right gynae to come along to actually do something, he was marvellous. The big one they took out was a size of a grapefruit, other smaller. Also wanted children, but I think too late now. You don't just get them in your uterus. What I found amazing is how many women have never heard of them and when they do it is usually the cause of their symptoms. More research is definitely needed. |

| More education and training should be available to doctors on the subject of fibroids, and awareness needs to be raised of the misery, discomfort and inconvenience caused by fibroids. |

| I fully support the call for further research
into all aspects of Fibroids and their
effects on womens daily lives, and those
who depend upon them.
One is left wondering if this affected
testicles, would this be left 'hanging' for
so long? Fibroids should be everyones
concern - much like the breast cancer
campaign has become. |

| I have been diagnosed with fibroids three times in as many years but have not been told whether they can be removed, just that they will be \\\'kept an eye on\\\'. Not very helpful |
