Abstract
Utero-ovarian ultrasonography provides biometric data concerning internal female sexual organs. The length of the uterus provides the best indication of estrogen impregnation. This low-cost, non-invasive examination is suitable for an initial investigation of whether the uterus is stimulated at the normal age or prematurely. The method can be used to monitor the advance of puberty as well as the effects of therapy, surgery, slowing by LH-RH analogs, puncture under ultrasound of a secreting follicular cyst. Follicular cysts of this type are now found to be very common, thanks to the possibilities offered by ultrasonography.
