A member asked:

When i have pelvic exam doctor always struggles to find my cervix and it hurts when they move the speculum to find it. why is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tipped cervix: You may have a tipped uterus one either up or down making it a little more difficult to find your cervix. It should not hurt that much though.
