Why there is so little information on uterine fibroids?


Do you have good links?
I can't believe it, 30% of women have them, and there is no good info.
I was diagnozed with a large one, and suggested a surgery, and I'm panicking and freaking out.

My dear, don't freak out. I was diagnosed with them too. had the surgery, and found it wasn't as bad as I'd feared it would be. And believe me, I felt much better after the dr. removed four pounds of fibroids. There are different types of surgery for them, but you're right--there's not enough info about fibroids.

What kind of information are you looking for? These sites seem relevant:
