| I am under the gynaecologist with fibroids. I am told the largest is the size of a 5 month pregnancy. With the symptoms I can believe it. They have discussed an hysterectomy, but I would like to know about other less extreme options. I do feel its that " oh well your over 40, so lets whip it out".
We definitely need more research in the treatment of fibroids. They affect so many women. |

| I had 13 fibroids removed 8 years
ago - I was 35. One had strangled an
ovary and my fertility due to this and
scarring was compromised. I have
not been able to have children. I am
now facing more surgery as they are
back - research and support is much
needed |

| I started my periods 33 years ago and have not stopped suffering since. Extremely heavy, couldn\\\'t leave the house as I bled so heavily and in so much pain. I took Feminax at the time which would knock me out and take some of the pain away. When my children were in nappies, I would wear one during the night as my bleeding was so heavy with huge liver sized clots coming out. I was diagnosed eventually with fibroids about 8-10 years ago and I was sent to see a \\\'specialist\\\' at the hospital. The \\\'man\\\' told me I shouldn\\\'t be having pain with fibroids and dismissed me. I went home in tears and have suffered since. I have just changed doctors and seen a lovely doctor who referred me for a scan, I am basically riddled with fibroids. I am now waiting for treatment but at last something is being done. I kept having time off work as I was in absolute agony, couldn\\\'t walk and had to use the loo every 15 minutes to change and that\\\'s with a huge night time towel plus largest tampon together. More care is needed for women. |

| Women are a main contributor to the running of society at home and in the work place. Why should women have to suffer with these type of problems and carry on regardless. If we didn't the world would grind to a halt. I think it is about time we were given more research and cures into our problems!!! |

| I am waiting surgery and have
only had a brief 5 min
conversation with my
consultant then I have
received to more appointments
with a nurse practitioner who
on the two occasions gave me
conflicting information. I am
in constant pain and
discomfort every single day -
I have had enough - I have
been waiting nearly two years
from diagnosis and still have
not had a date for my
appointment. This is causing
me stress as my company need
to know to get cover for my
job as I have been told I will
be off work for three months.
I am really low and have no
quality of life what so ever! |

| So many women have fibroids
that it will be very
profitable to drug companies
that find a cure or relief
drugs, but i wish much more
research to be funded into the
impact of lifestyle on the
formation of fibroids and
above all research into
PREVENTION by non drug
measures such as diet,
relaxation or uterine massage
for instance, as well as
alternatives like
phytotherapy, acupuncture and
homeopathy.
research on measures women can
take themselves. |
