What is the cervix?

he cervix is the lower part of the womb or uterus and is commonly referred to as the 'neck of the womb'.

The cervix plays an important role in maintaining a normal pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, the cervix has no obvious function although it may be important to the enjoyment of sex in some women.

If you squat or stand with one leg on a chair and put one or two fingers into your vagina, you will be able to feel the smooth, rounded cervix at the top of your vagina.
