Hi Mel, I am in the uk too, and agree about the useless doctors. But what I am really writing to say is don't just let them force you to have a hysterectomy! Some doctors are very quick to resort to surgery because they have such little understanding of the problem (for example would you trust them to treat your pcos? me neither!). I'm no expert on fibroids but I do remember that excess oestrogen (oestrogen dominance) is one cause of them, and most of us with pcos have this oestrogen dominance. Supplementing with natural progesterone can fix the problem. So make sure you find out all about the problem yourself, don't just trust a doctor!
