1672.	M.B	Paris, France	At 35 I saw a gyneocologist after experiencing continued heavy bleeding during periods with the discovery of a lump around the utérus. He examined me, told me it was fibroids, nothing to worry about off you go. I was very happy to have sought out a second oppinion & I had a myomectomy by a good surgeon who removed 7 fairly large fibroids, I'm almost certain their removal allowed me to conceive later & have a child at the age 39. Women have a right to know their options & be correctly informed of all treatments available to them.

1670.	A.C	Hurst	There needs to be more research into prevention/causes of fibroids. The only tools doctors seem to have treat the symptoms and not the cause, unless you opt for radical surgery which many women quite rightly resist. My experience with the NHS is ongoing with no resolution in sight, only conflicting opinions which leave me confused. The long waiting times between referral and appointments do not help!
1669.	J.W	CANTERBURY	One health authority works differently from another. This thing growing inside me is causing me disabling pain.I have a life to lead!I shouldn't have to deal with major surgery!I PRAY YOU DON'T IGNORE US.Thank You.
1668.	N.B	Coventry	Information and treatment are not readily available .we are made to suffer for years and then surgery is given as an option and medication that has worked like esmya are not readily given.i have been refused this by my Docter even though others have taken and successfully reduced their fibroids!where is the justice in that!!

1665.	S.T	Manchester	We need more research and information so fibroids can be found at a smaller size in order to avoid large surgery and possible problems

1663.	N.P	PORTISHEAD	I had fibroids diagnosed at age 54. My GP said I need do nothing, as they would shrink after menopause. This was very bad and insufficient advice

1661.	H.W	Hellifield	I have had fibroids for 10 years, they could have been treated when they were smaller, but now one is over 8cm and I have 4 which cause lots of problems. GP's in the main say "oh no they don't cause problems" I know they do!! I'm hoping I can have embolisation as even at 48 I do not want a hysterectomy!!
