Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: What size of uterus is considered enlarged? What is the normal size of a uterus? My uterus is 6.4 cm 4.7 cm. Is it considered enlarged?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The adult uterus is somewhat flattened front and back, resembling an inverted pear, measuring about 7-8 cm in length, with a maximum width of about 4 cm and a thickness of about 2-3 cm. It is divided into three parts: the upper, rounded convex part is the fundus, the lower, narrow part is the cervix, and the part between the fundus and cervix is the body of the uterus. The cervix in adults is about 2.5-3 cm long. The lower end that extends into the vagina is called the vaginal part of the cervix. The internal cavity of the uterus is very narrow and can be divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part, within the body of the uterus, is called the uterine cavity. The lower part, within the cervix, is called the cervical canal. The upper opening opens into the uterine cavity, while the lower opening connects to the vagina, known as the external os.Therefore, your condition should be fine.
