Why this Guide is Different

I’m Dr Sylvia Kama-Kieghe, a UK-based NHS and private Women's Health GP with years of experience supporting women through fibroid, period, and hormone problems.

Through my AskAwayHealth.org platform, I’ve answered thousands of questions from women who:

  • Regretted rushing into surgery

  • Wished they’d known what to ask beforehand

  • Felt dismissed or confused about their options

This guide is based on the real questions my patients and viewers ask me – and the ones they often wish they’d asked sooner.

It’s clear, practical, and designed for you to use in real life, in real appointments.

You’ll also get follow-up emails with further guidance on period problems, so you never have to navigate this alone.
