what causes a female's uterus to be high?

Question:

my doctor told me that my uterus is really high, almost to my navel. what causes this?

Answers:
The fact that the vagina and/or the uterus is long and stretched out versus folded up as most women's are. The uterus can lie in any position, just most are folded, but not all.

Other Answers:
usually things in and around the uterus.

The most common is pregnancy, and of course would be normal. At the navel, is about 20 weeks (digging deep into the memory).

Fibroid masses, can cause it.

Being very thin, and just before your period could possibly do it.

and scary things can do it: tumors.
