Sonographic Size of Normal Uterus in Pre and Post-Menopausal Women and its Correlation with BMI

Abstract

Background: Uterus is a pear shaped muscular retroperitoneal organ. It has three layers Endometrium, myometrium and perimetrium. Aim: To determine the sonographic size of normal uterus in pre and post-menopausal women and its correlation with BMI. Material And Method: This study consists of 150 women (115 parous &35 nulliparous) had sonography with abdominal and /or pelvic problem non-relating to uterus in both parous and nulliparous women. Uterine measurements are assessed and associated with age, height, and weight and correlated with pre and post-menopausal women. Results: The result showed that the size of uterus (length×width×height) from 11to 30 years is (7 ×3 ×4), from 31 to 40 is (7× 4 × 5), from 41 to 50 years is (7×4 × 5), and from 50 to 6o years is (7 × 3 ×4). From 60 to 90 year’s uterus length decreases. In 60 to 70 years is (6.1 × 2 ×2), from 71 to 80 years is (4 ×3×2) from 81 to 90 years is (5 × 2 × 3). In my study there was insignificant correlation of uterus dimensions with BMI. Conclusion: On the beginning of the current work next inference was strained. The uterine length rises with rise in age in from 11 to 60 years and reduction in 61 to 90 years’ age. Negative correlation between uterine length and BMI. There is insignificant correlation of uterus dimensions with BMI.
