Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Sometimes hard : Sometimes the cervix is hard to find. This will depend on the skill of the gynecologist and the anatomy of the patient. I'm not sure why you would be referred to a surgeons. Generally surgeons are not particularly skilled in gynecology. You should contact the referring doctor and clarify the plan
