What does it mean when you have benign endocervical glandular ephithelium?

Dr. Parul Krishnamurthy answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Normal: This means the lining of your endocervical canal in normal. The cervix has an ectocervix which is exposed to the vagina and an endocervix which continues upwards in to the uterus where it is then called the uterine cavity.
