Abstract

During the reproductive years, the size and weight of a normal uterus vary according to parity. Nulliparous uteri weigh 40 to 100 g and measure about 8 cm in length, 5 cm in width at the fundus, and 2.5 cm in anteroposterior thickness. Muciparous uteri weigh up to 250 g and measure 12 cm × 5–7 cm × 3.5 cm.
