We did a study asking women to explore how uterine fibroids affected their day-to-day life. The findings showed that women were suffering beyond expectations. While women expressed devastating experiences due to the disease, they also indicated some positive elements in their day-to-day living. Perhaps we need a better understanding of what women experience due to the fibroids.
