A member asked:

My husband says the top part of my cervix has a piece of skin hanging down over the opening! he says you can slightly move the skin to see the opening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seriously?: How is your husband seeing your cervix: it is an internal pelvic organ. Does he have a speculum or an endoscope? He cannot see it any better than he can see your vocal chords.
