| I was diagnosed 2004 after 5 years of hell!!!!
trials ar needed as it also helps doctors better understand by listening to the female patient instead of being dismisse that you imagin the pain or the lump that gets prominent close to your period every month!!!
I will like to have a child but my lumps are quite large and i already had a myomectomy. more trial mint mean better ways of shrinking tumrs for women like me who wantchildren. |

| Just returned from a gyny appointment. Offered partial hysterectomy for my fibroids. Seems that this is the ONLY permanent solution - nothing has changed in 30 years - same solution offered to my mother! |

| Find a drug that will work
already on the long term.
Enough of surgery. Big Pharma,
Big problem. If this were a
men's condition, they would
have had a pill years ago. I
guess they are too busy
working on erectile
disfunction. How about working
on finding a drug that helps a
woman function and have some
quality of life. |

| There needs to be more information out there. I feel that the doctors know very little about fibroids, which is concerning!
Before my miscarriage, i asked several doctors and midwives for information on pregnant with fibroids and there was no information available. |

| The whole miserable condition
of fibroids needs to be
researched thoroughly.
Butchery seems to be the only
option for large or bothersome
fibroids. I feel let down by
the NHS after being told by
numerous gynaes to wait and
see what happens with your
fibroids. 3 years later and
hoping for a myomectomy, my
surgeon has now changed her
mind and hysterectomy is my
only option at 40. I am in so
much pain from degenerating
fibroids and the hospital wont
do an emergency op as its not
life threatening. Women are
suffering,and not getting the
help they need. Something
needs to be done and now! |

| NHS choice seems to be hysteroscopy or full hysterectomy. surely there must be other options |

| Women need to have better
awareness of fibroids and more
money needs to be invested in
research and treatment. |

| Fibroids are a distressing matter for
some women, including myself, and
I feel that more research should be
conducted in this area. |

| We want and need more research so that women have more choices as to treatment, not just hysterectomy. "I don't know what you're keeping it for" was my doctor's comment. In 2012, this attitude is outrageous and offensive. |

| I didn't even know what fibroids were until I got a diagnosis. If 40% of women are supposed to have them then why aren't they known about in the general population. I very much doubt I have spent my (so far) 20 years National Insurance contributions on NHS treatment, so I want some of them spent on publicising the existance of this condition and research into the condition!! |
