SONOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS OF UTERUS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH DIFFERENT PARAMETERS IN PAROUS AND NULLIPAROUS WOMEN

Aim: To determine normal standards of uterine dimensions by using ultrasonography and to find out correlation between size of uterus with age, height, weight and body surface area of parous and nulliparous women. Material and methods: This study consists 80 women (40 parous&40 nulliparous) had sonography because of abdominal and /or pelvic problem unrelated to uterus. The uterine dimensions are measured and correlated with age, height, weight, body surface area in parous and nulliparous women. Results: The result shows that the uterine length increases in 21to40 age group and decrease in 41to 60 age group women. The uterine length increase with increase in the body weight, height, and body surface area in both parous and nulliparous women. The size of uterus are more in parous than nulliparous women. Conclusion: on the basis of the present study, it was concluded that the uterine length increase in 21to40 age group and decrease in 41to 60 age group women. Positive correlation between uterine length and age, body weight, height, surface area is seen in parous but not in nulliparous women. The uterine length was less in nulliparous than that in parous women with corresponding age, body weight, body height, and body surface area.
