I suffered from fibroids for many years. What do you want to know about fibroids?

I did not know about them when I miscarriage 4 years ago. I have had 9 removed in 2016, a further 1 or 2 in 2018 and one or two earlier this year.

Yes, I had a huge one removed a few years ago and I’ve still got some smaller ones left. They made my periods heavy and excruciating.

Last scan, I had two. One is enormous, but causes no problems other than taking up bladder space..

My friend has several small ones that caused constant bleeding until she had a Mirena fitted, though that caused other problems.

I did not have a clue about fibroids and only found out by chance. Frustratingly, there are many other women in the same boat. I started a blog to raise awareness so that women are not as ignorant about fibroids as I was. If detected early enough, there are things us women can do to limit the impact of fibroids

I found out I have one 2 months ago and am having it out in the morning. These heavy periods I’ve been having for the last few months will hopefully cease!
