Hysteroscopy Of Intramural Fibroids Video

The endometrial cavity looks normal, slightly enlarged but otherwise nothing wrong with it. However, this patient has extreme menstrual bleedings and the ultrasound reveals that the cause of the bleeding is two intramural fibroids.

In this video you can also see the openings to the Fallopian tubes. Everything is normal, but the patient is heading to endometrial ablation anyway.
