What Is Considered a Large Uterus?

The normal uterine size is 5.5-7.5 cm in length, 4.5-5.5 cm in width, 3.0-4.0 cm in thickness, and 2.5-3.0 cm in cervix. Under normal circumstances, the three values add up to more than 12 cm. The uterine cavity is an inverted triangle, about 6 cm deep, and the upper two corners are "uterine horns" that lead to the fallopian tubes. The lower end is narrowed into a "gorge" and is about 1 cm long. The isthmus gradually expands during pregnancy and forms a lower uterus segment at the time of labor. The ratio of uterine cervix to cervix varies according to age, with a ratio of 1: 2 in infancy, 1: 1 in adolescence, and 2: 1 in fertility.

Uterine size test is a means of judging whether the uterus is normal and whether there is any disease through palpation to check the length, width and thickness of the uterus.
