The elasticity parameters (in kilopascals) of the normal endometrium, myometrium, and cervix were studied. The variability of the mean elasticity value of the endometrium in different menstrual phases and age groups was analyzed. The variability of the mean elasticity of the cervix across different age groups was also studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean age of the participants was 40 years (range, 25\u201369 years). The normal mean elasticity values \u00b1 SDs were 25.54 \u00b1 8.56 kPa for the endometrium, 40.24 \u00b1 8.59 kPa for the myometrium, and 18.90 \u00b1 4.22 kPa for the cervix. A mean endometrial\u2010to\u2010myometrial elasticity ratio was calculated, which was found to be 0.65 \u00b1 0.22. There was no significant difference in the mean endometrial elasticity values for women in different menstrual phases (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .176) or in different age groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .376).
