1821.	F.C	Gravesend	I believe a lot more research should be done. People die from this disease in Africa.

1819.	J.B	Wootton Bassett	I have been suffering with excruciating period pain and very heavy bleeding for 2.5 years and have recently been diagnosed with 2 fibroids. One inside and one outside my uterus. I'm shocked at how they are played down by both the Drs I have seen and the UK health websites. I was fitted with a mirena coil today and am really hoping to get a less painful life back as a result. More research and more accurate public information about the suffering we experience please!

1817.	A.M	Aberdeen	There should be more research and help given to women suffering from fibroid. After episodes of being anaemic and being off work, no one actually diagnosed the fibroids in the Uk. If I had not gone abroad and have the same anaemic attack and seeing an interventionist who diagnosed the fibroids I will still be suffering. Back to the UK an option of watchful waiting was given and at this point the anaemia was accompanied by bladder issues and pelvic pain but no one took any of it seriously. I finally had to go private to be listened to and now I have had a myomectomy done..just recovering from it just now

1812.	I	London	I am 29 years old and was diagnosed with a fibroid a few months ago. My life has been very affected by the side effects.More research into this problem is needed.

1810.	S.T	Brentwood	Scarily after a 10 minute consultation the consultant said "let's just take it out" meaning a total abdominal hysterectomy. No other alternatives were even mentioned let alone offered. Really? Why are the alternatives not considered when there are many?

1804.	J	London	Research is essential for fiboids early treatment should be available to avoid problems in later life. I know as up against a brick wallin trying to get diagfnosis for probable cancer in uterus something found but more of less told I am too old to get further than an ultrasound to find out exactly what is wrong more of less told their will be no treatment at all for me because of age though not yet eighty still a viable human being careing for myself. If fibroids had been avoided or removed at an ealy age could be no excuse now for saying lumps in utrus probably fibroids so nothing else offered even though I want to know if I have cancer or not.
1803.	A.M	LONDON	Too many women suffer from fibroids and here must be something else we can do than having a very invasive surgery thx
