| There seems to be little new
research into a condition which
is debilitating for man. I would
have hoped that the hyterectomy
could have been replaced by a
less radical treatment. It's a
great shame as it affects many
women. |

| I think the treatment of women
and their fibroids is not taken
seriously enough. More has to be
done to help women suffering
from these sometimes very
problematic tumours. |

| My first encounter of Fibroids was
back in 2005 and again in 2007.
Before that it was not something I had
heard about at all so was a complete
surprise to me when I heard I had the
first one.
I only decided to get my symptoms
checked out after they got really bad.
Raising awareness and research into
Fibroids could not be more important.
It would provide women with all the
information needed so that it is not
completely alien. The more
information we have out there the
better. |

| Fibroids do enormous damage to women's
health, resulting in time off work to cope
with excessive bleeding & pain. They can
also have a catastrophic effect on fertility.
we need an effective treatment now |

| Fibroids were unknown to me until I was diagnosed with them at a very late stage. I realise how much doctors and female and male gynecologists always avoided enquiring into my heavy and painful periods. Where they unaware, or disinterested? I don't know, but I realise that it is a taboo issue that needs further medical attention. |

| Without real research women will
continue to be fobbed off with...'oh
they will most likely shrink after
menopause' and 'best leave well
alone' , unless of course you are
crippled by symptoms. I for one
would like to be able to make positive
choices about my health and the
treatment of my fibroids and without
research the medical profession will
continue to let me down by peddling
these myths and will not seriously
offer me real alternatives within the
NHS. |

| More research now, will surely result in less NHS resources being used in the future. Many women are suffering & this is unacceptable. |

| I have to make a choice now. I
have two fibroids of about 5cm,
heavy bleeding that meant an
ambulance was called by my
doctor, extreme low pressure,
need to pee a lot, bloating,
discomfort/pain and Panis
attacks from the pain which
brings on breathing
difficulties and I have asthma.
I also have hypothyroidism,
eczema, alopecia and possibly
lipomatosis (under
investigation currently). I'm
42, married and would like the
opportunity to try for kid/s.
The current options are UAE or
abdominal myomectomy, I don't
like the idea of either.
Research and comparisons need
to be made. |
