Question

A woman who has lower level of sex hormones than normal will have:

• A. Uterus size larger than normal
• B. Normal uterus size
• C. Irreversibly dysfunctional uterus
• D. Uterus size smaller than normal
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D Uterus size smaller than normal


The size of the uterus depends on various factors. In a female who has never been pregnant but has normal levels of circulating female sex hormones, it is considered to be normal in size.

The size of the uterus may increase if the woman gets impregnated. This is due to the fact that the uterus will grow in size to accommodate the growing foetus.

Circulating levels of female sex hormones also play a role in maintaining the size of the uterus. Low levels of circulating fluids may result in the reduction in size of the uterus. But this doesn’t lead to the loss of functionality of the uterus.
