Another way to "see" a polyp is to watch it move in response to myometrial contractions. Just observe the cavity for 30-60 seconds with the endovaginal probe in a mid-sagittal plane and you may see the polyp move with the contractions. Not seen in everyone but when present it is dramatic. We use this all the time. If you can record the activity with a PACS system it is EVEN MORE dyamatic to play it back at faster than normal speed.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
