Fibroids are a surprisingly common problem, often causing painful periods, anaemia and infertility. Understanding about fibroids is the key to getting the best treatment. This book explains in clear terms what fibroids are and what causes them, and details the different treatment options, including drugs, surgery and alternative therapies. Until recently most women were offered a hysterectomy for troublesome fibroids, but now there are a variety of other approaches to consider. Mary-Claire Mason explains the choices that are available to you, and suggests ways to cope from day to day.
