A member asked:

My cervix is always open and soft. and by open, i mean i can fit a finger tip in...all the time. help?

Stop self exam: Please consult a board certified GYN for evaluation and diagnosis. It is usually almost impossible to feel your own cervix, since it is location very far from the vaginal opening.
