A member asked:
How can the cervix be completly closed, and soft but still be spotting? (as far as i know i'm not pregnant) and is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Play on words: You're right. The cervix technically is not closed completely. From a physiologic perspective it is "open" to secretions and to sperm.
