A member asked:

Can you tell me if possibility of cervical cancer would cervix be unusually hard?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Cervix cancer begins in the mucosal lining of the cervix as in-situ disease which hope is picked up on pap smear. These changes are microscopic. When the lesion invades basement membrane into musculature of cervix there is an ulcerating lesion that bleeds and can be defined early on by culposcopy.
