1618.	J.H	Northampton	Newishlgy diagnosed just keep hearing hysterectomy! 50 not worried about fertility but feel its a bit like using a mallet to crack a but. Considering how common they. Are the treatments seem so extreme and invasive, most of the info I've found from web or friends not docs advise, confusing with the amount of options. But don't feel get rid of it all is the answer, I agree far more research seems necessary considering how common it is

1612.	C.J	Exeter	I think more research is needed into women's hormones,the cause of fibroids and what we can do to prevent them. At the moment we only treat the symptons of this illness by removing them with risky surgery or worse hysterectomy. What is causing so many women to have these growths and how can we prevent them? A more holistic approach is needed.

1609.	M.A	Oxford	Please give more money towards a research on fibroids
1608.	S	Daventry	More support needs to be given to women with fibroids and research in to alternative treatment methods - everything available today seems to be intrusive and/or has side effects. A hysterectomy can not be the only solution surely?! Support more research, help more woman live a pain free life absent of fibroids.

1605.	J.H	Guangzhou,Canton, P.R.C.	My name is John Hsiao from Canton China. I am so pleased to tell you that my teacher who's from Taiwan can cure fibroid easily using Chinese acupuncture (Direct contact moxibustion) without any surgery. I was shocked so many women suffered from fibroid and helpless at the current moment. So please response to contact me asap and save so many globaly.

1602.	L.F	Norwich	Fibroids can really affect women's lives to the point that they have to take time of work. They can also cause anaemia which then causes them to be susceptible to infection which also means time of work. Fibroids need to be researched and new treatments developed to stop women form having to deal with this problem.
1601.	C	Barnstaple	I've been diagnosed with multiple fibroids and an enlarged uterus. I'm 47 and have no children. The treatment suggested - hysterectomy. Shocking that this was only treatment suggested. He eventually prescribed Esmya for 3 months, but didn't say whether this would have long-term beneficial effect, only that it was a pre-surgery treatment. Really unsatisfactory and unhelpful. Second opinion required and more research into this condition.
1600.	R.K	Eastbourne	I have recently been diagnoised with a large fibroid - 10cm in diameter. As a result I am very anaemic, but iron tablets (600mg per day) are not restoring my iron levels sufficiently, and I am due to see a consultant to find out what my options are. The size of the fibroid is causing me other problems too. It presses on my bladder and is also causing back pain. Further research is needed. I have been active and healthy all my life, but the impact of this fibroid on my quality of life has been immense. Further research and support for women with fibroids is necessary and long overdue.
