Measurement of the endometrial cavity length using Wing Sound I

  • Published:
Advances in Contraception

Abstract

Parity is a factor that influences the axial length of the uterus. The knowledge of different measurements will help in the fitting of the IUD. In this paper, 657 cavimetries have been studied in relation to parity. A progressive increase of both the total uterine length and the endometrial cavity length have been observed in relation to parity, but none regarding the cervical length.

Resumé

Le nombre d'accouchements est un facteur qui a son influence sur la longueur axial de l'utérus. La connaissance des différentes mesures facilitera la pose du DIU. Dans cette communication, 657 cavimétries ont été étudiées en fonction de la parité. On a constaté un accroissement progressif non seulement de la longueur totale de l'utérus mais également de la longueur de la cavité endométriale, sans qu'il y ait eu cependant élongation du col.
