You were told you have fibroids and that they are being monitored. Nobody gave you a timeline. So you are left wondering whether the thing inside you is getting bigger by the month, whether the symptoms you have now are as bad as this gets, and whether waiting is a reasonable plan or a slow […]

You have been told you have fibroids, and somewhere between the appointment and now the question arrived anyway. Possibly a scan report used a word you did not recognise. Possibly you have been managing symptoms for years and started wondering what else might explain them. Either way you want a straight answer rather than a […]
