| More research needs to be done with
fibroids. All the doctors I have seen
seem to be uninformed of all my
symptoms and just blame everything
on aniemia which I am no longer
anemic. Also woman who loose the
option to have children is awful. |

| Awareness of fibroid symptons and
knowledge of the available medical
solutions need to be increased
among the medical community.
Women with symptomatic fibroids
need to be supported medically and
personally. Fibroid sufferers often
suffer in silence for many years
before help becomes available.
Living with fibroids can be physically
and mentally exhausting, and can be
treatable.
Thank you for listening.

| Fibroids affect around 25% of the
population, yet they are hardly
mentioned in the media or online
articles about women’s health issues.
There is little funding for treatment or
research, leading to a range of
treatments that cannot/will not be
performed by some doctors. This
means that many women’s fertility is
taken away prematurely due to a lack
of skill or awareness by some
doctors. Many doctors are
unsympathetic to this condition too
and cannot/will not believe the effect
this has on many women’s quality of
life. |

| Fibroids can make women house
bound a few days every 3-4 weeks
(due to varying female cycles)
The blood loss is so severe it can
cause Anaemia - which is then
another disorder that then has to be
treated in itself!
Gynaecologist’s will not help until
they reach 5cm’s, they just send you
away like you are exaggerating the
symptoms - by 5cm’s it’s been years
of pain & impossibley ridiculous
bleeding - please help I can not work
due to this causing me Anxiety, pain,
upset, bed rest etc etc etc |

| I had a 5cm Fibriod my GP was
great and so was my consultant
even though I waited over a
year for my Operation I was
told by my GP in April 2016 I
had a fibriod I had my first
appiontment at hospital 10th
May 2016 I had my Lap Myo on
10th May 2017. I glad to say my
life is back to normal but I
strongly belive there needs to
be more reseach and people need
to be more aware of Fibriods |

| It's taken nearly four years to be
diagnosed with fibroids. I have had
my symptoms continually dismissed
by my doctor and only by pure
chance of seeing a locum doctor did I
get referred for a scan or blood test.
Heavy bleeding needs to be taken
seriously as it has had a huge effect
on my quality of life. Being fobbed off
with the only options of the pill or coil
without any investigation Is
generalising women's problems and
putting them at huge risk. |
