Objective:

To derive normative reference ranges for ovarian volume, follicle number, uterine size, and endometrial thickness among Indian women of reproductive age and its correlation with anthropometric and hormonal parameters.

Approach:
  • Method: label
  • Method: text
Key Findings:
  • Mean uterine length: 7.09 ± 1.64 cm (transabdominal), 7.11 ± 1.83 cm (transvaginal).
  • Ovarian volumes: 7.06 ± 3.44 cc (left), 7.26 ± 3.29 cc (right) via transabdominal; 7.12 ± 3.38 cc (left), 7.45 ± 3.28 cc (right) via transvaginal.
  • Mean follicle count: 6.05 ± 3.18 (left ovary), 5.89 ± 3.03 (right ovary).
  • Ovarian volume negatively correlated with age; positively correlated with body weight, height, hirsutism score, insulin resistance, and testosterone.
  • Endometrial thickness positively correlated with age and waist circumference; negatively with body weight, BMI, skin fold, and triceps thickness.
Interpretation:

The study provides normative ultrasound ranges for uterine and ovarian dimensions in Indian women of reproductive age and their correlation with anthropometric and hormonal parameters.

Limitations:
  • Exclusion of pregnant or lactating women may limit generalizability.
  • Study focused only on women aged 18-40 years, excluding other age groups.
Conclusion:

These normative values will assist in the diagnosis and management of reproductive health disorders in the Indian population.
