2036.	A.D	Milton keynes	Recently diagnosed with large Fibroids. Took a long time to get diagnosis. GP sent me for scans saying that she felt nothing was that wrong. Spent several years with unpleasant symptoms and issues affecting bladder.
2035.	V	London	This is such a serious and common problem with very little information available about it. I read there isn\'t even a nhs leaflet about fibroids. This condition is dangerous and ruins women\'s lives, more research is needed especially in alternative and non surgical options, and in prevention so young women of tomorrow can avoid this
2034.	E.B	LONDON	MUCH MORE RESEARCH NEEDED INTO NON INVASIVE THERAPIES AND CURES!!!!!!

2032.	A.R	London	There needs to be more information and causes and ways to prevent fibroids. Two years ago during a scan for a non related purpose, it was discovered that I had two fibroids, the largest of which was 4cm. The gynaecologist at the time told me to eat healthily and sent me on my way. Two years later, I found I am pregnant and experience bleeding - the scan reveals that I now have 5 massive fibroids, that have the potential to give me a painful and risky pregnancy. If I was given the appropriate preventative treatment or advice 2 years later, I wouldn't have this increased risk of losing my baby now.

2029.	P.S	Manchester	My mum has suffered with fibroids for the best part of 10 years - the only options given to her have been "have a hysterectomy," or, "wait it out, sometimes they get better after the menopause." Neither of these options are truly without their drawbacks. There needs to be more awareness and research in regards to fibroids, their treatment, and how to support their sufferers.
2028.	M.S	Kington	I believe there must be an alternative to surgery for fibroid treatment and further research is needed to secure this.

2023.	K.J	Shrewsbury	Didn't know anything about this until told during a scan that I had a fibroid can not really find out what caused this think research is needed.
2022.	C.B	Northampton	Is it the case, that perhaps if men had to suffer this hell every month, would there be more funding for research and real life legislation?? Hmmmm....

2020.	T	Edinburgh	Fertility conservation is my only concern when looking at treatment options & worryingly there are very few that don't carry a risk. More research needs to be conducted into medical treatments. Fully support articles such as the following. https://www.glowm.com/Critical_curren t_issue/page/5
