thread_title: Removing unverifiable information

message: This section assumes that the world is American. This should be re-written to emphasise that this is how uterine fibroids are being addressed IN AMERICA, or discuss other comparable efforts elsewhere. I have moved this section down, given its limited relevance.142.76.1.62 (talk) 17:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: question about 'Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act of 2005'

message: It is a bit too extensive and US centric, for example the method is now covered by standard insurance in Germany since a few years. Also, how did the strange bullets get into the text? Richiez (talk) 16:08, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems with MRgUS section 

message: I am FATEMA JOHRA, age 24 from BANGLADESH. I feel some pain in my bally 1 year ago after 1 month of my marriage. I meet a doctor, she advice me for some check up (ultra sonogram). Then I make it from a diagnostic center. It found 2 FIBROIDS. Then my doctor told I try for conceive as early as possible, when delivery time comes closer she will surgery for delivery and remove those fibroids also. Then I try to conceive, after 2 month I became pregnant (report on 21.12.2001). After 2 month from 21.12.10 I make another ultra sonogram found a twin pregnancy and at least 3 FIBROIDS (size 7*5cm, 7.7cm & 3cm) at the posterior wall. After 2 month my doctor told me make another ultra sonogram. Because of her advice I make another ultra sonogram on 03.05.2011. Then I found babies are little bit smaller but FIBROIDS growths are decrise (size 6*5cm, 6cm & 2.5cm). Doctor told me she will surgery before 1 month of my expected date of delivery (14.08.20011). But suddenly on 17.05.2001 at midnight I feel too much pain in my bally.
I think it is false pain because expected surgery date is after 2 month, but unfortunately after some time I became a mother of 2 babies in my house before I hospitalized. My babies are under weight so they are getting sick. Doctors try their best but my babies left us alone in this world.
After 1 day of the accident I make ultrasound and found the FIBROIDS are increase rapidly (size 7.6*8.1cm, 9.2*8.1cm & 3.2*2.3cm) and Uterus measuring 17.9*7.9cm.
Doctor told me come to her chamber after 1 month then she will give me an injection for those FIBROIDS. 
After the accident I am scared and meet another doctor for better treatment. Doctor instantly makes a USG ON 28.05.2011 and advice me MYOMECTOMY after 3 month. Then I meet another doctor. He advice me make some checkup (ULTRASONOGRAM & SOME URINERY AND BLOOD test). As he advice I make those checkup dated on 31.05.11 and found FIBROIDS are too much increased (size 86*75mm, 26*24mm & 85*74mm) and left OVARIAN mild enlargement with (?) functional cyst. Then he prescribe (dated on 04.06.11) me some medicine and told after 7 days make an ultra sonogram scan of pelvis. As he suggest I take those medicine and after 7 days I made an USS (dated on 14.06.11) & meet with doctor. Then I found FIBROIDS size are 91*69mm, 25*21mm & 79*78mm and left OVARIAN mild enlargement with (?) functional cyst & right OVARIAN moderate enlargement with (?) functional cyst also. Now Dr. prescribed me take 3 injection (name DECAPEPTYL depot 3.75 mg deep in  im) every 28 days and come to doctors chamber after 3 month, if the inj. work and fibroids size decrease then it’s ok, otherwise I have make an operation in my uterus.
Now I am not taking those injections because I am scared and don’t know that those injections are good or create any side effect in my internal or external body.
My question is:
1) should i take those injection DECAPEPTYL depot 3.75 mg?
2) Is myomectomy save for future pregnancy?
Please suggest me the appropriate treatment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatema johra (talk • contribs) 08:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I think it is the best way to proceed, also look at leiomyoma - there seem to be several similar syndromes mentioned there and possibly there are overlaps. Here in uterine fibroids it deserves a mention in the diagnosis/sign and symptoms and coexisting disorder sections I think. Maybe even in the lead although I am not sure if it is not too rare to mention there? Richiez (talk) 09:41, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Uterine fibroid →  – Much more commonly referred to, even in article. Google books puts fibroids at 3.8 million and uterine fibroids at 447,000; ngrams show marked favour for fibroids; all other fibroids referred to are called fibromas. Iztwoz (talk) 17:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that would just confuse this article to be honest. My comment and concern are that this change will leave dust in that other article - and the other one would need some small management. But I'm forthe support rather than oppose or no decision.

thread_title:  Review 

message: I've reverted "biological female" to "woman" and added a note to acknowledge that trans men and some non-binary people can also develop uterine fibroids.  Reasons:
* The article is meant for a general audience, so less-technical terms are better.  "Biological female" is more technical than "woman".
* Where a version of this article doesn't yet exist in a non-English-speaker's native language, they may try to read this one; it should be as understandable as reasonably possible to a second-or-more-language English speaker.  "Woman" is the simpler term, less likely to get mangled up by an AI translation tool (e.g. Google Translate).
** Corollary to the above: a child may be asked to read and translate the article and that child is more likely to understand "woman".
* "Biological female" feels dehumanising, like I could be reading about non-human animals.  I note that the articles for testicular cancer and prostate cancer use "men", not "biological males". My edit makes the tone and style of this article better match the articles about men's health conditions, without ignoring trans and non-binary people.
