2278.	T.C	Rampside	Woman should not have to suffer fibroids with only invasive surgery as an option. Why is the MR Guided FUS Therapy not available on the NHS !
2277.	E.U	Sale
2276.	N.P	Southport	More research desperately needed & more doctors to be aware that cutting out a womans womanhood is not the only answer and deeply offending.
2275.	R.O	Thamesmead
2274.	M.B	Basingstoke	These growths cause years of pain, distress and embarrassment for many women. Please help!
2273.	C.D	WELWYN	How many more women need to suffer before a funds are provided foe a robust research
2272.	A.M	London
2271.	H.A	TILBURY	My latest consultation with my gynacologist suggested I have a hysterectomy because at 45 I'm too old for other procedures. I'm appalled by this. Definitely needs more research and knowledge for these

2269.	L.A	Adelaide	I would like more research into myomectomy treatment options for women over 50. It seems this procedure is hardly ever offed or performed on women who have passed their fertile years. \"If you are not going to have any more children, then you don\'t need your uterus\", seems to be the thinking. However, I do think I need my uterus. It has other functions in the body apart from bearing children and needs to valued. I think it is pretty appalling that so many women should have a major organ removed for a benign condition. We need more data on myomectomy for older women.

2267.	J.D	GOSPORT	This is a common problem that so many women suffer. In my experience gynaecologists that i have seen just push for the cheap easy option for the NHS and tell you that a Hysterectomy is your best treatment (best for who i ask). Certainly not for me as i have educated myself on this. We are in the 21st century is this still the best we can offer women .
2266.	J.O	London	As a fibroid suffer in my opinion there isn\'t engouh research for treatment. I had to have a total hysterectomy at the end due to constant blooding and unbearable pain. I would have lost my job if I was a new member of staff. I felt there wasn\'t engouh support or information when I needed it. This is a silent nightmare for women. A lot of women can\'t have kids because of this horrible thing.
2264.	K.H	Swindon	I feel strongly that there should be more research. I have suffered 4 miscarriages and my last was twins I thought it was over but I ended up bleeding so much I needed a blood transfusion and a hysteroscopy and they removed the fibroid. There is not alot of research on this and since the procedure i have had nothing but pain.
