Product Description

This guide discusses the "other side" of treating fibroid tumours - the side that offers preventative strategies and all your treatment options. Fibroids are the leading reason why more than half a million women a year have a hysterectomy. Sadly many women are not given any other options by their doctors even though there are safer and easier alternatives. Fibroids are benign tumours that arise from the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. As they grow they can extend their range, putting pressure on other organs and tissues. Over 50 per cent of women diagnosed with them develop symptoms bad enough to impact on their daily lives. This book takes readers through the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibrosis. It details what every woman needs to know, including all the up-to-date medical treatment options as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.

About the Author

Scott Goodwin is Professor at the Dept of Radiological Sciences at UCLA School of Medicine. Foreword by Carla Dionne, Executive Director National Uterine Fibroids Foundation. Michael Broder has extensive research training which has been cited in numerous newspapers & magazines.

Most Up to Date Book 23 Sep 2008

By Shed

Format:Paperback

I have read 3 books on this subject and this one is really well written. It is clear and precise, given all factual information that you need in a very simplistic way making it easier to follow. For a book written by doctors it has a really good chapters on nutrition and alternate treatments which surprised me! I am always looking for ways of trying to allievate the problems caused by fibroids instead of looking to the doctors for all the answers and these chapters were very helpful.

The book was published in 2003 and all the information is still up to date. The book though is written for an American audience with their concepts of their health care system in mind. I not sure we would be allowed to do some of things they suggested on the NHS.

But altogether a good book for those seeking an answer to this problem.

The best book on fibroids I have read 14 Jun 2005

By Mel - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the most comprehensive book on fibroids that I have read. It explains the different types, enumerates other conditions that may be confused for fibroids, details diagnosis techniques. It then thoroughly explores each treatment option currently available--and it is up-to-date, as opposed to another book I purchased which was so out of date it didn't even mention Uterine Artery Embolization. It gives statistics on the successes and complications from each treatment, and also suggests questions to ask your doctor and qualifications he/she should have. It assumes that you are intelligent enough to make up your own mind about what treatment you want and does not "sell" one over any other. It is just so refreshing!

I recommend it to anyone who is trying to get through the maze of confusing information about fibroids.

A Very Helpful and Insightful Book 16 April 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book was very helpful. I have fibroids and my doctor told me to have a hysterectomy. I am glad I read this book. It gave me a better understanding of my condition. I finished this book with an understanding of my diagnosis and armed with some questions to ask my doctor and a feeling that I was taking charge of my situation. Thank you, thank you , thank you.

Up To Date Doctors Get Along and Offer Comprehensive Advice 23 April 2003

By MPB - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Knowledge about fibroids and available treatment options has been changing rather rapidly. This book is clearly the most accurate and up to date at the present time (2003). In a changing field, accurate and up-to-date are critically important. That alone, makes Goodwin/Broder a must-read for any woman dealing with fibroids.

This book is well documented, giving citations chapter by chapter - so the reader has some idea what information came from which sources, and can refer to those sources should she wish.

It is very heartening to see an Interventional Radiologist (Goodwin) and a Gynecologist (Broder) COOPERATING to provide COMPLETE information about fibroids in ONE book. Too frequently, these two branches of medicine appear to be competing with one another, even trying to discredit one another, on issues relating to fibroids and treatment of fibroids. There are treatments for fibroids which involve each of these doctor's specializations. Together these two authors make it possible for women to consider the options based on the knowledge of doctors who support what is best for the PATIENT rather than what is best for the individual doctor's ego or pocketbook. This book does that and does it splendidly well. Broder and Goodwin together set out both the pluses and minuses of the various available treatments and what's appropriate when - regardless of whose specialty each treatment lies within.

The authors even cover what's known about treatments of the future including some currently in clinical trials. Goodwin and Broder also discuss lifestyle changes, suggest ways to implement some of them, and what effects one might or might not realistically expect from such changes. The book is rational rather than emotional.

Although this book is written by doctors, it is clear, concise, easy to comprehend and complete. It is not preachy. It does not talk down to the reader. These authors understand their audience and are able to effectively communicate needed information.
