This study was designed to compare the size of uterus by bimanual examination and ultrasonographic methods in patients with enlarged non-gravid uterus in Shohadae Tajrish Hospital (2000).</span><br> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="background-color:#16a085;">Materials and Methods:</span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size:16px;"> In this correlational type survey 49 candidate patients for abdominal hysterectomy were selected by simple sampling and uterine size was evaluated by bimanual examination. The uterine size was evaluated again by ultrasonography for all the patients. After hysterectomy uterine size was recorded in the operating room. Results were analysed using Pearson&#39;s correlation coefficient and linear regression formula.</span><br> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="background-color:#16a085;">Results:</span></span></strong></span><span style="font-size:16px;"> Patients were 35-56 years old (Mean 45.3 &plusmn; 5.4 y). A significant correlation existed between uterine length and width using bimanual examination and ultrasonography (r=0.71, P<0.0001). Also considering fundal height only, equation as: Uterine size = 0.865&times;L was obtained. Also true uterine size (post hysterectomy) had a significant correlation with ultrasonographic uterine length (r= 0.7, P<0.0001).</span><br> <span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="background-color:#16a085;">Conclusion:</span></strong></span></span><span style="font-size:16px;"> There is a significant correlation between estimation of uterine size by bimanual examination and ultrasonography. In patients with problematic bimanual exam, ultrasound can be used for estimation of uterine size could estimate uterine size according to the gestational age.</span></span></div> UTERINE SIZE, ULTRASOUND, BIMANUAL EXAMINATION 23 27 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-108&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Jafar Nasohi جعفر نصوحی 5200319475328460069984 5200319475328460069984 Yes Mehri Salasi مهری ثلاثی 5200319475328460069985 5200319475328460069985 No
