an endoscope having a main body coupled to an extension portion, wherein the extension portion is configured to extend transcervically to a patient's uterine cavity;
first, second, and third channels extending from the main body to a distal end of the extension portion;
wherein the first channel is configured to be in communication with a positive fluid pressure source;
