Fibroids

Everything you need to know, from symptoms to diagnosis and beyond

Everything you need to know about fibroids – the forgotten female health condition – from women's health expert, respected obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Michelle Griffin

Up to 80% of women will develop fibroids before the age of 50, yet most of us know little about them. Fibroids can be the hidden cause of debilitating symptoms that are too often dismissed as 'normal', such as heavy periods, fatigue and pelvic pain.

With expertise, reassurance and clarity Dr Michelle Griffin guides you through:
  • What fibroids are and why your symptoms matter
  • How to talk to your GP (with practical checklists)
  • How to choose the right treatment for you
  • How to take control of your care and advocate for yourself
Whether you've just been diagnosed, have been living with fibroids for years, or are concerned about unexplained symptoms, this is the clear, expert guidance you need.
