The uterus is an important part of the female reproductive system and is the cradle of new life. It is located in the female pelvis**, anteriorly adjacent to the bladder and urethra, posterior to the rectum, the uterine fundus is located below the pelvic entrance, and the external cervical opening is located slightly above the level of the ischial spine.
The normal uterus is tilted forward to facilitate menstrual blood discharge. The uterus is an important organ for women, which is not only related to women's fertility, but also closely related to women's menstrual cycle, endocrine and other physiological functions.
The shape and size of the uterus varies depending on age and fertility. The uterus of an adult female is inverted in the shape of a pear, about 7-8 cm long, 4-5 cm wide, and about 2-3 cm thick.
The uterine cavity is covered with a single layer of columnar epithelium called the endometrium. The lining of the uterus thickens or thins as the menstrual cycle changes, preparing the way for the fertilized egg to implant and develop.
During pregnancy, the uterus gradually enlarges to accommodate the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, the uterus secretes a variety of hormones and enzymes to maintain the normal development of the fetus. During childbirth, the uterus pushes the fetus out of the body by contraction.
In addition to giving birth to a new life, the uterus is also closely related to a woman's menstrual cycle. During the menstrual cycle, the lining of the uterus is periodically shed and regenerated to form menstruation. Menstruation is one of the important signs of a woman's reproductive system health, and it reflects the normal functioning of the female endocrine system.
