Patient's question:
The doctor said that a cervix from a woman who has never been pregnant should be round. I have never been pregnant, so why is mine horizontal?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, women cannot touch the cervix themselves. Some people can only touch the cervix after childbirth or miscarriage due to the descent of the cervix. In such cases, it is necessary to check for cervical prolapse and pay close attention to local hygiene, changing underwear frequently. Generally, in the late stages of pregnancy, the cervix can accommodate 1-2 fingers or be dilated by 2. If the amniotic fluid and placenta are normal and there are no indications for induction, it is best to wait for natural labor.
