A member asked:
About 6 months ago i was told during my pap smear that my cervix has started to close. what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: As some women get older their cervix starts to close and this is a normal process. This is called cervical stenosis if it closes more narrow than normal or completely closes. Sometimes the stenosis can be bad enough to impede menstrual flow and can cause increased cramping during menses.
