Uterine Body and Cervical Length Ratio Prepubertal
Before puberty, the female reproductive system shows distinct anatomical characteristics.
At this developmental stage, the cervix (the lower, narrow part of the uterus) is significantly larger in proportion to the uterine body (the main, upper part of the uterus).
The observed ratio between the cervical length and the uterine body length before puberty is:
- 2 : 1
This indicates that the cervical length is approximately twice the length of the uterine body during the prepubertal period.
