A member asked:

I was told during a uterine biopsy, and once before, that i have a very tight cervical opening. what effects does it have? what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: It means the cervical opening is small. Unless your cervical opening was scarred somehow, there's virtually no clinical significance.
