women are a challenge for gynecologist in management of AUB. The office vaginoscopic hysteroscopy is an ideal selection. The
usefulness and feasibility of no touch hysteroscopy in virginal women is rarely reported.

AUB.
Materials and methods: Patients: A prospective observational study of 36 virginal women with AUB seen at the Kang Ning Hospital during a 10 months period, from 1st Jan to 31st Oct 2018 was included. Methods: Rigid hysteroscopy, 4mm out diameter (OD) was used after the initial clinical evaluation and transabdominal sonography.
Result: A total of 36 consecutive women, aged 16 to 52 (mean 31) with AUB was included. The hysteroscopy was successful in 31 out of 36 (86%), while incomplete view 4 (11%). One failed examination (3%) was excluded. A total of 35 women were included for study. Thirteen endometrial polyps (37%) and 2 submucosal leiomyomas (6%) were found. Total operation time: mean time 3 m 29 s± 1 m16 s (range 1 m 54 s- 11 m 31 s). Patients rated pain score: 3 ±1.6 (range 1-8). There was no hymeneal injury, only one vasovagal attack occurred. Thirteen women underwent see and treat endometrial biopsy no malignancy was found. Subsequent two submucosal myomectomy with hymenoplasty were performed.
