| It has taken me 10 years to get my
diagnosis, and in that time I’ve heard
numerous medical professionals tell
me it’s part of being a woman,
something every woman deals with
which has been absolutely heart
breaking and I’m still coming to terms
with knowing I was right in knowing
my body, knowing something wasn’t
right but wasn’t listened to. It makes
you question and doubt everything.
Following a diagnosis all I’ve been
offered is the contraceptive pill which
isn’t designed to treat fibroids and if I
decide to have children, what do I do
then? The condition effects all parts
of my life and that of my husband. It
doesn’t just effect me, it effects those
closest to me and my ability to work
and how I choose to live my life. I will
deliberately avoid doing things
because of my condition and I can be
house bound for days either due to
pain or because of fear of being able
to make it to a toilet on time.
More needs to be done, more
treatment options and more
education so it’s not on me to
educate people on my condition
when I still don’t fully understand
what’s going on myself. No woman
should have to fight for years for a
diagnosis. |

| Why should I have to have a full hysterectomy? no other options available to me ive been told? what about the Acessa method that seems popular and less invasive in the US? what about laser or radiology methods? I just want to be rid of these monsters that ruin your life in the least intrusive way along with many other people in the world, help needed. |

| There is not enough research into fibroids and women are sent home to suffer without help or even sympathy with a big impact on having a normal life and quality of life. |

| I am suffering with a fibroid.
I had UAE on it in February
2017 and it shrunk from 5 cm
to 3 cm, and is now 1.4 cm. It
is still causing me symptoms
and medical professionals
don't believe me that I am
still in a lot of pain. I
have stopped working because
of the pain I am in. More
research needs to be done on
fibroids urgently. |

| Many doctors do not have the skills
to perform myomectomies and are
only offering hysterectomies to their
patients. Far more research is
required to understand how fibroids
are caused and to treat hormones
effectively. |

| My fibroids were so large when they
were diagnosed that the best option
for treatment is invasive
myomectomy surgery and a lengthy
period of recovery. I fully support
more research and a better scheme
for early detection, monitoring and
treatment. |
