Fibroids: Everything You Need to Know, from Symptoms to Diagnosis and Beyond

By Michelle Griffin

Fibroids are a common health condition that may affect up to 80% of women under 50 in the UK, with Black women disproportionately impacted -- a disparity that has contributed to the condition being under-recognized and under-researched.

Symptoms can be severe and life-altering, sometimes even affecting fertility. Yet many women are left feeling lost and unsupported; even after diagnosis, the pathway to treatment can feel unclear. With NHS waiting lists at record highs -- and gynaecology services among the worst affected post-pandemic -- access to consistent care remains a major challenge.

In this empowering and practical guide, Dr. Michelle Griffin offers a clear roadmap from the moment you suspect you might have fibroids through diagnosis and beyond. Featuring checklists for GP appointments, explanations of treatment options, and advice for self-advocacy, this book provides the clarity and confidence needed to take control of your health.
