What is the typical uterine length in prepubertal females?

The typical uterine length in prepubertal females is approximately 2.5 to 3 centimeters. This measurement reflects the developmental stage of the uterus before puberty, when hormonal influences that would lead to increased size during menstruation and pregnancy are absent. At this age, the uterus is relatively small and is primarily in a resting state, reflecting the lack of sexual maturity and reproductive function that occurs in later stages of development. Understanding this anatomical size is important in diagnostic medical sonography, as it aids in identifying normal versus abnormal findings in pediatric patients.
