Everything you need to know about fibroids, the forgotten female health condition, by respected ob-gyn Dr Michelle Griffin
Fibroids is a health condition that may impact up to 80% of women under 50 in the UK, with a higher proportion of sufferers being Black women - which may be one of the systemic reasons why this condition exists under the radar.
Symptoms can be life-impacting and debilitating, and can even affect fertility. Often women feel completely at a loss, even after diagnosis the pathway ahead isn't clear. NHS waiting lists remain long - gynaecology services remain the worst affected post-pandemic - and the availability of treatment is inconsistent across the country.
Dr Michelle Griffin offers a clear and practical pathway from the time you suspect you have a fibroid, to diagnosis and beyond. Including checklists for what to ask your GP, to the different treatments that you might be offered, this book will offer you a clear plan of action, to give you the confidence to find solutions.
