Fibroids

Fibroids affect up to 80% of women under the age of 50 in the UK, with a disproportionately high number of Black women suffering from the condition. This disparity may contribute to fibroids being somewhat overlooked in health discussions.

The NHS faces ongoing challenges, with long waiting times, particularly for gynecology services, and inconsistent treatment options across different regions.Dr. Michelle Griffin provides a clear, practical guide from the moment you suspect you have fibroids, through diagnosis, and beyond. Her book includes checklists featuring questions to ask your GP and outlines the various treatment options available, empowering women to confidently pursue solutions.

These guides offer essential information, enabling women to take proactive steps to safeguard their health and wellbeing now and in the future.
