How should the cervical canal be normal?
It is worth noting that the norm is considered to be a state of the cervical canal, in which it is open or closed, only a part of it, the length of which does not exceed 3 cm. Usually it has the same diameter throughout its entire length. Its length is of the order of 3.5-4 cm.
The change in the cervical canal is noted before ovulation, when it is somewhat enlarged. It is necessary for better penetration into the uterine cavity of spermatozoa and further conception.
What are the reasons that the cervical canal is enlarged?
As a rule, an increase in this parameter is observed with the development of sexually transmitted diseases. In order to accurately identify them, a smear from the vagina is prescribed.
Separately it is necessary to say about this situation, when the cervical canal is enlarged during pregnancy. In this period, this phenomenon is due to the excess pressure of the fetus on the cervix. As a result, development of ischemic-cervical insufficiency occurs. This violation leads to a spontaneous abortion. When it is diagnosed, the condition of the cervical canal is monitored in dynamics using the ultrasound diagnosis data.
Is it possible to narrow the enlarged cervical canal?
Such a need arises only if the woman is in a position. Correction of the lumen of the canal can occur in 3 ways: hormonotherapy, pessary plant, surgical intervention. It should be noted that the latter is rarely used, when the measures taken earlier did not bring the expected result.
