Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Premenopausal women, aged above18 years, with a regular menstrual cycle planned for a transcervical hysteroscopic resection (TCRM) of submucous fibroids.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in histological vascular density (based on CD34/31) in endometrium covering fibroids versus normal endometrium. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differenes in kwantified VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, FGF, Estradiol receptor, Progesterone receptor expression, kwantified hysteroscopic vascular density (using Narrow Band Imaging). Level of CD34/31 related ki67 expression. The relation between endometrial vascularity index and angiogenic profile in endometrium covering a fibroid with severity of menstrual bleeding (PBAC) and total number of days will be assessed. Potential prognostic parameters: age, cycle day, OC or GnRHa use, fibroid size and level of protrusion (GIS) and vascular indices measured with 3D TV-US will be registered. | — |
