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.
