What are uterine fibroids?

Fibroids are the most common form of non-cancerous or benign tumours in women of reproductive age. You may hear them called other names like uterine fibroids, leiomyoma, leiomyomata, or myoma. They grow in the muscle layer of the womb (uterus). Fibroids are usually round or semi-round in shape and can range in size from a large marble to a baseball.

How can I have a professional career?

My menstrual bleeding is so heavy that I am unable to work for one week per month. Other times, commuting to the office is a nightmare with the stops I need to make looking for a bathroom. This, along with the pain I feel during the day, is making me stressed. I don’t feel productive most of the time and I am afraid this will have an impact on my work quality and ultimately my career. I need to go to see a doctor and learn more about available solutions. I cannot take this anymore. IT IS MY CHOICE.

How can I enjoy a social life?

It all started a few years ago. My menstruations became very heavy and now it is at the point where I fear leaving the house for long periods of time. If I know my period is due, I refuse weekend trips and getaways with friends for fear of being embarrassed. Many times I am just too tired to go out with my friends. It is also difficult to choose what to wear to be comfortable and feel confident. I need to do something to stop this. I want to be able to go out when I want and have a normal life again. IT IS MY CHOICE.

I do hope it will happen one day, I want to be a mother. I don’t know if my periods are normal or not, but I do know that I am often tired. Is it related? I need to go and see a specialist about this. IT IS MY CHOICE.

How can we be a normal couple again?

I want us to get back to where we were. For a few months now, my pain has been affecting our sex life and I don’t know who to speak to about it. Each night is another challenge for me and I want it to stop. I can’t put a name to these symptoms that I feel every day. It’s not only in my body; it’s starting to get into my head too. I don’t want to live like this anymore. I must speak to my doctor about it. IT IS MY CHOICE.
