Travel Insurance for Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and can affect people in different ways depending on their size, number, and location. Symptoms can include heavy or painful periods, pelvic discomfort, bloating, and fatigue, while some people may experience no symptoms at all. In the UK, fibroids are very common, affecting up to 2 in 3 women at some point in their lives.

Most people with fibroids continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it can be done safely and confidently.

Having the right travel insurance in place can help to cover:

• Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
• Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
• Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
• Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with fibroids

• Plan your activities at a comfortable pace
• Consider using taxis or public transport to reduce walking distances
• Take time to rest if pain or fatigue increases
• Pack any medication or support items you rely on

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions. If relevant, you will need to declare uterine fibroids on the policy.

Many travellers with existing medical conditions can still arrange travel insurance. The level of cover we can offer varies depending on the details of your diagnosis and how your condition is currently managed. Being honest and accurate when completing your medical declaration helps us to bring forward the most suitable cover options.
