Re: Size of Organs

Hi there,

The answer is no, for several reasons. First of all, the ovaries in preadolescent girls are very small, they enlarge with the hormonal increase. The uterus has not built up the endometrium for the same reason. Lastly, everyone's organs are different - they average around a "normal" weight and size, but even paired organs (kidneys etc...) in the same person are not the same physical size. Hope this helps.
