COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LINEAR DIMENSIONS OF THE UTERUS IN WOMEN OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS ACCORDING TO ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION

Objective was to carry out a lifetime comparative analysis of uterine size in women in the first, second period of adulthood, elderly, and senile age according to ultrasound data.

Material and methods. The work is based on the results of ultrasound examination of 102 women who were examined in the Department of Gynecology during the period of 2021 and 2022. All women gave their consent to the study. The ultrasound examination consisted of measuring the longitudinal, transverse, and anteroposterior dimensions of the uterus using transvaginal access. The patients were divided into four groups depending on their age.

Results. When comparing the indicators of uterine dimensions from the first period of adulthood to old age, their statistically significant decrease of both length (t= 24.98; p<0.01) and width of the uterus (t= 44.50; p><0.01), as well as its thickness - (t= 21.84; p><0.01) were revealed. Conclusion. From the first period of adulthood to old age, there is a decrease in the linear dimensions of the female uterus: its length, width, thickness (p><0.01). The obtained results of lifetime comparative analysis of linear dimensions of the uterus in women at the stages of body aging allow us to understand the age-related anatomical features of this organ. Summarizing the above, it should be noted, that the results obtained in the study are the basis for further scientific work and can be demanded by doctors of various clinical specialties.><0.01) and width of the uterus (t= 44.50; p<0.01), as well as its thickness - (t= 21.84; p<0.01) were revealed.
