Hysteroscopic treatment of submucous myomas.
Submucous myomas can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility. Sonohysterography and office hysteroscopy can provide accurate diagnosis. Classification systems have been developed to help predict the difficulty of resection. Patient selection and proper surgical technique are essential to achieve good results and reduce the risk of complications. Hysteroscopic treatment can in many cases provide excellent results and eliminate the need for major surgery.
