In pelvic exam: PELVIC: Skene, urethral, and Bartholin glands within normal limits. Vagina, good support. Cervix was closed. No lesions were seen. Uterus was palpable, ______. s/l "ring incised" or "ring sized."

Could he be saying "ring incised" meaning he feels the incision from previous surgeries. Could it be he is saying uterus is "ring sized?"
