Several conditions can affect the cervix, including:
Cervical Incompetence: A condition where the cervix dilates prematurely during pregnancy, leading to potential miscarriage or preterm birth. Cervicitis: Inflammation of the cervix, often caused by infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. Cervical Dysplasia: Abnormal growth of cells on the surface of the cervix, which can be a precursor to cervical cancer. Cervical Stenosis: Narrowing of the cervical canal, which can cause menstrual issues and infertility.
