After becoming an adult, the uterus will also develop and mature. By measuring the size of the uterus, it can be determined whether the uterus is normal. If the uterus is underdeveloped or oversized, it is abnormal. Therefore, some women have asked what is the normal anterior posterior diameter of the uterus? Next, let me explain in detail.
The normal size of an adult female uterus is within 5.5 to 7.5 centimeters in length, 4.5 to 5.5 centimeters in width, 3 to 4 centimeters in thickness, and 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters in length. Under normal circumstances, the sum of the three diameters of the uterus is greater than 12 centimeters.
If the size of an adult female's uterus is smaller than the normal size range, that is, the vertical diameter (length) is less than 5 centimeters, the horizontal diameter (width) is less than 4 centimeters, and the anterior posterior diameter (thickness) is less than 2 centimeters, it belongs to uterine dysplasia, also known as immature uterus. It can be promoted to grow and develop again through combined treatment with estrogen and progesterone.
If the size of an adult female's uterus is larger than the normal size range, it is considered to be an enlarged uterus. The enlarged uterus may be caused by genetic factors, which is a normal phenomenon and does not cause any harm. It may also be caused by diseases such as adenomyosis or uterine fibroids. If the enlarged uterus is caused by a disease, it is necessary to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
