A Real Winner

I thought this book really went through all my options. I liked the fact that lots of treatment options were discussed and the science behind the treatments were discussed. Much more complete than other fibroid books I have read

Very thorough!

I looked through a lot of what's currently on the market for uterine fibroids. This is very thorough, with up to date medical information. I also appreciated the appendix on hints for surgical recovery. This had information I had not seen anywhere else.

Uterine Fibroids

I highly recommend this book to anyone diagnosed with a uterine fibroid and especially to those whose doctors suggest they have a medical procedure done! This will give you the knowledge you need, that your doctor may not fully explain, in order to make an informed decision that could effect your entire life. Do not just take his or her word for what you should have done, everyone must take their medical care into their own hands. Uterine Uterine Fibroids: The Complete Guide by Dr. E.A. Stewart is easy to read and very informative. It gives a basic knowledge and understanding of the problems and possible medical solutions. It is as up to date as it can be but, sadly, the medical world just hasn't done enough studies on this subject and therefore women still do not have many choices to relieve the problems caused by uterine fibroids. Dr. Stewart sticks to medical facts and scientific evidence, nothing is mentioned about alternative medicines. There is still much more to learn, as Dr. Stewart admits time and time again.
