| Fibroids cause so much misery & anxiety above all the physical symptoms - more research is definitely needed. |

| Had fibroids removed last week. I am signing this petition as I would really like more information on the causes of them. |

| Over the past year I have met
so many of my friends who are
suffering from the disease and
back in Africa it has become
so common and yet there is
very little awareness. It is
getting to scary proportions.
Dismissed as a woman's
disease, but it is affecting
our wives, mothers, sisters,
children and hence the need to
take it more seriously. |

| I think it's appalling that
more hasn't been done in
fibroid research. It may not
be a life threatening
condition but it's certainly a
life crippling one. I know
several women including myself
who have fibroids and some of
the symptoms we suffer are
very painful and at times
debilitating. I almost died
after delivering my daughter
because of heavy blood loss
from fibroids. I had to have
emergency surgery and almost
lost my womb. I spent a
number of days in intensive
care. That was the end of a
pregnancy that was
frightening, traumatising,
debilitating and painful. All
because of these awful
monsters living inside me that
I didn't ask for. Politicians
please DO something! |

| Why am I told by a male consultant that I have to have a Hysterectomy when there are other options? |

| I believe more research needs to be done in this area. This is particularly important particularly when the condition affects very young women of child-bearing age as it is very drastic and traumatic for any young person to ultimately have go down the road of having an hysterectomy. It is also interesting why the condition affects women of Afro-Caribbean decent. |

| There is not enough information
about how this condition is
contracted.
The medical staff have no
information, which could be scary for
patients. This needs to be on every
doctors thoughts as to what causes,
thyroids. |
