A member asked:
Is the texture of the endocervical canal of the cervix hard or soft?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Endocervix: The endocervix can not really be felt or palpated unless you are in labor. It is up inside of the cervical canal. It is made of columnar cells which are glandular and softer than the squamus cells that make up the ectocervix.

Varies: It is soft from the influence of the estrogen and progesterone. It changes depending on the stage of the menstrual cycle.
