A member asked:
Is the cervix always open or closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Open: The cervix is always open althnough the opening is quite narrow outside of pregnancy. It contains a mucus plug which helps prevent infection and other things from passing through but is receptive to living spermatozoa.
