Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. The doctor touched my abdomen and said that my uterus is smaller than normal. What could be the reason for this? I had a medication-induced abortion before. Could you please tell me the specific effects of medication-induced abortion on the uterus? Under normal menstrual conditions, does a smaller uterus affect pregnancy?First follow-up question: How does a smaller uterus affect pregnancy, and what is the likelihood of pregnancy being affected? Why does medication-induced abortion affect infertility? Can you explain this?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal adult woman, the size of the uterus is as follows: longitudinal diameter 5.5-7.5 cm, anteroposterior diameter 3.0-4.0 cm, transverse diameter 4.5-5.5 cm, and wall thickness 2-3 cm. If the uterus is slightly smaller than the normal range, it will not affect pregnancy itself. The most important factor for whether one can get pregnant is the hormone level. If the hormone level is normal and ovulation is also normal, a slightly smaller uterus can still lead to normal conception.
