1998.	C.R	Caernarfon	I find attitudes to be very dismissive towards fibroids - but realistically how healthy is it to carry something the size of a melon inside of you - sometimes even larger than that even! Most doctors jump on to the bandwagon of hysterectomy without looking at other options. Needs further research and also doctors need to be educated!

1993.	J.H	North tuddenham	Common condition causing much pain, more research needed into effective treatments.
1992.	E.K	London	In my opinion, research need to be done in order to know the cause of fibroid.
1991.	E.W	Harleston,Norfolk	More research is needed

1989.	A.D	Southampton	I have suffered with fibroids for many years - which is why i am 49 and childless, i am awaiting an appointment at the moment with gyno to arrange yet another removal - waiting time 6 weeks with daily flooding and feeling so tired i asked the doctor could she speed it up and she looked at me as if to say what! and then said 6 weeks is not long - try living with it then - furious!

1986.	J.P	Cardiff	I always swore I would never have a hysterectomy unless I had cancer & it was absolutely necessary, times are changing as there are alternatives available but it does appear that for some Gynaecologists Hysterectomy is the "easy option". More research & non invasive treatments have to be the way forward surely?

1980.	M.C	Kidlington	Uterine preservation should be given top priority for women of all ages, and not just for those that wish to have children. Hundreds of thousands of women suffer from this deteriorating and painful condition, that is highly misunderstood.
