| I wish there was an organisation composed of all experts called Women First where treating us with respect and creating proper options/researching every angle rather than brutal operations that often create more problems.
I am 59 with ovarian cysts and fibroids.The last recommendation was to have ovaries out and take HRT which obviously feeds the fibroids. This was at the Portland Hospital for Women. |

| More research needed into the root causes of fibroids, so prevention can be better |

| Just had very painful hysterectomy
due to fibroids. Told one was the
size of a 22 week old baby. |

| I was diagnosed with a 5cm fibroid ten years ago and told there was no need to do anything. I am 34 and currently bedridden with a 11cm fibroid that needs to be removed by myomectomy. I am in abject pain, the fibroid is petruding and I cannot work. I feel the 'watch and wait'method is absurd, do we wait until things are this bad? I can't help wondering if they would watch and wait for a benign tumour to get to this size in a man's body. |

| Living with fibroids is not living, its
surviving as best you can. There is so
little information about non-invasive
treatments that often GPs will only
consider surgery. We deserve better.
There should be more awareness in
fibroid research so we can make
informed decisions about our
treatment. |

| I would love more research into
fibroids; I am having a
myomectomy next week and think
that the more that is known
about fibroids the better. |

| It's a disgrace that women's health is so overlooked. MORE RESEARCH is desperately needed to help more women. |

| Women should be given an internal exam when having cervical test. I went to my 3 year test without fail and never knew I had fibroids until I went to the UAE and was told during a routine exam. More women need to know sooner.....more funding for NHS to do internal exams as routine! |
