Human ovulation captured on film for the first time
Video
Description:
The first video footage of the ovulation captured on film by Belgian researchers.
To capture the sequence, researchers of the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology in Belgium performed transvaginal laparoscopy, which involves making a small cut in the vaginal wall and observing the ovary with an endoscope.
In the video, the fimbriae can be seen sweeping in time with the patient’s heartbeat. A mucus plug can be seen protruding from the ovary - this contains the egg.
