Globally, one in five women between age 30 and 50 suffer from excessive menstrual bleeding.  Excessive menstrual bleeding can have a significant impact on a woman’s quality of life by disrupting family, social, personal and professional activities.  This represents a very large opportunity for enhanced clinical outcomes, with over 8 million women impacted in the U.S. alone.
