Normal Uterine Size in Women of Reproductive Age in Jos, Nigeria: An Ultrasonographic Investigation.

Abstract

A cross-sectional study of normal uterine size of 70 women aged 20-40 years was conducted by ultrasonographic measurements. Mean uterine size was found to be 8.24cm x 4.75cm x3.77cm (Length x width x AP diameter) for overall total, 7.46cm x 4.22cm x 3.30cm for Nulliparous women, 8.49cm x 4.87cm x 3.81cm for Primiparous  women and 9.10cm x 5.36cm x 4.36cm for Multiparous women. Mean age was 27.99 ± 5.43 years. Uterine size was significantly correlated with parity and age. Linear multiple regression lines to predict uterine size (length,width and AP diameter) using parity and age were also modelled.
