Jennifer Biedinger's life was disrupted by heavy, nonstop vaginal bleeding that no feminine hygiene product could manage. This constant fear of bleeding through her clothes and having to leave events left her feeling anxious and on edge, especially at social gatherings and her children's sporting events.
This condition, caused by fibroids and polyps in her uterus, is common among women, particularly during perimenopause. In her mid-40s, Jennifer faced this challenge but wanted to avoid the lengthy recovery time associated with a hysterectomy, a common treatment option.
Jennifer, a patient of Kelly Hammond, M.D., chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center, had been experiencing continuous bleeding for months. Dr. Hammond, aware of Jennifer's desire to avoid a hysterectomy, referred her to Erin Conway, M.D., an OB/GYN at Riverview who specializes in the Acessa procedure.
Thankfully, Jennifer found relief through a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure called Acessa at Riverview Medical Center. To read more about this procedure click on the article below!
