what are the exercise to open cervix?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic floor : The cervix is the opening of the uterus and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Exercise will not open the uterus. Pelvic floor exercise will strengthen below the cervix.

Question 4

what does a high soft open cervix mean?

Accepted Answer

Close to labor: Those specific words describe the qualities of the cervix, the entrance to the womb/uterus, during the last part of the pregnancy. "soft" means that the cervix is ripe or ready for labor, which is good if you are near your due date, "open" is also good if you are near, it means labor can be imminent, "high" means either long cervix or high presenting part of the baby. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Question 5

how do u tell if cervix are open or closed?

Accepted Answer

Examination: It's hard to know for sure without having a manual exam done.  Fluid, discharge, or bleeding is an unreliable indicator.  For a manual exam, the practitioner (nurse or physician) will use a sterile gloved hand to measure the opening of the cervix with their fingers.

Question 6

how can you explain the feeling of a close or open cervix?

Accepted Answer

You can't actually: You will not be able to tell if your cervix is dilating or not unless you have an examination by an MD.  If you happen to know what your cervix feels like due to masturbation, you might be able to feel that your cervix is softer and the cervical os is wider (the little hole is bigger), but it takes med students quite a while to learn, and I wouldn't recommend you check yourself, anyway

Question 7

is your cervix supposed to be high and low also very open soft at bottom and hard at top?

Accepted Answer

Not really: I assume that you are asking about someone who is not pregnant. If pregnant then different answer. Everyone's cervix is slightly different just like our noses, ears and the rest of us. There is no real normal.

Question 8

is a open cervix normal and ok i check it sometimes and sometimes it feels closed sometimes open alittle i had a child 2 years ago is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: This is probably normal and has more to do with your experience checking cervices rather than any anatomic abnormality.  At your next gyn visit you can have them comment on this directly.

Question 9

how can i tell when my cervix is open?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Most women, unless the cervix has fallen down due to laxity of the ligaments in the pelvis, are not going to be able to perform an exam of the cervix to determine if it's open or not.  Just not anatomically possible.

Question 10

why has my cervix been open for two weeks?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: You will probably have a miscarriage in the next four weeks.
