A member asked:
My ob told me its safe to check my own cervix. what should i feel for if all i can make out is swollen tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose consistency: The cervix feels like the end of your nose when inserting a finger in the vagina. It is found in the upper part of the vagina and will cause the uterus to move when pushed side to side or forward and backward. When pregnant the cervix feels like the end of your earlobe.
