How Does the Cervix Change During the Menstrual Cycle?
During the menstrual cycle, the cervix undergoes cyclical changes in response to fluctuating hormone levels. At the start of the cycle, the cervix is typically firm and closed. As ovulation approaches, it becomes softer, higher, and slightly open to facilitate the passage of sperm. After ovulation, it returns to a firmer, lower, and closed state until the next menstrual period.
