Fibroids are normally harmless growths in a woman’s uterus which reduce in size naturally when a woman reaches the menopause. Because of these facts, many doctors prefer to leave fibroids well alone. Now this is all well and good if the menopause is looming close. If, like me, however, you have many years to go, this might seem totally unacceptable. I simply wasn’t prepared to go through months of unpleasant hormone treatment with all the horrible side effects. Nor was I going to have surgery.
