Measurement of the Uterus size in Nulliparous and Multiparous Sudanese women using Ultrasonography

This is a descriptive study to estimate the normal size of the uterus in Sudanese women and to compare the same variables amongst nulliparous vs multiparous ones. It was carried out in Khartoum state, during the period from September to

October 2018. The study is done for 50 women age between 20-50 years 28 of women (56%) were nulliparous and 22 women (44%) were multiparous and excluded womenwith uterine pathology, pregnancy and those below the age of 20 and above 50 years. The data is collected by measuring the length, width and thickness of the uterus and Trans Abdomen Scan (TAS) is performed by placing the transducer in contact with the skin above the symphysis pubis and coupling gel is applied, 3.5 mHz ultrasound probe is used. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical programme. The result of this study showed that the mean uterine size found to be 6.92cm × 3.50cm× 2.50 cm (length × width ×thickness) for overall total, (6.67cm × 3.29cm × 2.80 cm) for nulliparous and (7.25cm × 3.77cm × 3.15 cm) for multiparous. The mean age was 29.7 years this means the uterine size was significantly correlated with parity and age. And this agree with previous study done in Nigeria (journal of health, medicine and nursing 2015) .
