Patient's question:
My husband was giving me intravaginal medication and noticed that after inserting his middle finger, he could feel a large space. Then, his finger was blocked by a concave dead end, and the medication couldn't go further—though he wasn't sure if it was at the cervix. He was very puzzled, as his middle finger is only a few centimeters long. During sex, his penis fully inserted didn't feel blocked at all. When erect, his penis is 15 centimeters long (measured frontally). I'd like to ask: what part of his finger was blocked? How can one correctly locate the cervix?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is not possible to directly touch the cervix with your fingers; what you might feel is the folds inside your vagina. The length of the vagina is usually about 10-12 cm. During traditional sexual intercourse, it will not reach the cervix, but if you adopt positions like female-on-top, it may. You may experience a sore sensation. It is recommended to administer medication in the vagina yourself to avoid indirect infection.
