Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a postpartum mother. I had a normal delivery at 38 weeks. Now my child is 16 months old. Today I had an ultrasound examination, and the doctor said my uterus is a bit small (4cm5cm). What does this mean? There is also some fluid accumulation. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, under normal circumstances, the uterus fully recovers to its normal size as follows: length of 5.0-8.0 cm, width of 4.0-5.0 cm, and thickness of about 2.0-3.0 cm. Therefore, it can be seen that your values are still acceptable. If there is an accumulation of fluid, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by conditions such as endometritis or pelvic inflammation. It is recommended that you consult a doctor in person, and then receive symptomatic treatment based on your specific condition to resolve the issue. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia.
