Across all ethnic groups up to 40% of women develop fibroids during their reproductive years. Although it may be perceived as a condition that affects older women, fibroids are an issue for the 18 – 30 year old age group with 7% of white women and 26% of black women impacted. Despite its prevalence many women (and most men) do not have great awareness about fibroids and possible solutions for this condition. For more details about fibroids including treatment options download the brochure from: www.cristazone.com. Although fibroids are not life threatening and are non-cancerous tumours, they can present women with many challenges. Many women have fibroids and are unaware of this as they do not pose any problems for them, these fibroids are considered to be asymptomatic. However, for others they can impact fertility, jeopardise pregnancy, create body image issues and cause dysfunction to the monthly cycle. There are a range of options that your clinician can signpost you for ranging from surgical solutions such as myomectomy and hysterectomy, less invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolism as well as a range of pharmaceutical options. In many instances the surgical options are presented without exploring the alternatives that may be beneficial. When faced with fibroids all treatment options should be on the table but if the woman involved is to be dealt with from a personalised perspective, careful consideration of what is required should be considered based on what is best for her. This can only be done if she has full access to what is involved with each pathway and the benefits of alternative therapy should also be part of that process too. We work closely with client’s clinicians so that the support provided is complimentary and this allows us to advocate on behalf of women that may not be knowledgeable about their position and the options open to them. Clinical professionals such as Interventional Radiologists and Gynaecologists often do not communicate with one another, which can mean that the woman involved can miss out on beneficial treatment that may be preferable to the option they end up taking. Fibroids are complex and require much more research than has been afforded them to date. However, a good deal of research has been already been done and this needs to be brought together and possibly examined from a fresh perspective so that the many women who find themselves faced with symptomatic fibroids are more empowered than they currently are.

If the problem of fibroids is to be meaningfully tackled it must be established who precisely is impacted and what this means with regards to all aspects of day to day life.

The question is a rhetorical one as I doubt that anyone can accurately answer it. When taking into consideration that up to 80% of women have developed fibroids by the age of 50, although we may not know how many women around us have fibroids, we can be certain that there are many.

Vitamin D and fibroids: are you getting enough?

In a 2019 study involving just under 6.5 million participants who had accessed primary healthcare, a third were found to be vitamin D deficient. When broken down by ethnicity this figure rose up to 66%.

Modern lifestyles mean that much of our time is spent inside, whether studying or working and as a result many of us miss out on adequate exposure to sunlight.

Vitamin D has apoptotic (killing unwanted cells), antiproliferative (suppressing growth of cells), inhibits angiogenesis (inhibition of the production of new blood vessels) qualities, making it a prime agent in the management of fibroids (a significant number of women diagnosed with fibroids also present with low vitamin D levels). Checking your vitamin D levels is easily done through your GP.

If you are not able to get out enough to get the appropriate exposure to sunlight, there are plenty of good quality vitamin D supplements that can be used to normalise your levels.

The employment of fibroid ambassadors is a great way of creating awareness about the subject; relatable people with real life experiences telling their story.

Coach Ella Destiny is doing just that in the USA. Read about her difficult experience with fibroids and why she feels that the hysterectomy she underwent possibly could have been avoided:

The Fibroid Support Clinic is a one-stop-shop for all fibroid related matters. For way too long fibroids have not received the attention that should be due for a condition that is so prevalent.

Did you know that up to 80% of women by the age of 50 develop fibroids? They are also a problem for younger women too, with 26% of reproductive aged women experiencing the condition. If you weren’t aware it is because many women simply suffer in silence. It is time to change this narrative and highlight the many ways in which support can be provided.

Watch this space for all things fibroid related (don’t worry I will still be regularly posting my take on inspirational quotes). 🙂
