The main physiological role of an adult woman is the conception and birth of he althy children. The harmonious work of organs and systems is aimed at the full maturation and release of the egg every month. The uterus itself, ready to accept a new life after ovulation, is already influenced by other hormones - gestagens. This period can be called premenstrual, and the female body can feel in a special way that the release of the egg has occurred and menstruation will soon come. Gynecologists call menstruation "bloody tears" of the uterus for a failed pregnancy. The cervix changes before menstruation in the same way as the entire reproductive system. These changes can be seen by a gynecologist or the woman herself can feel on palpation.
The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina. The cervix before menstruation is groped independently by inserting the middle finger into the vagina for its entire length. In this case, some bulge, tubercle should be felt. When conducting a study in different phases of the cycle, you can learn to determine its position and features, which is sometimes necessary to determine a more favorable time for conception. Use sitting postures for better access to the cervix. For example, you can put one leg on a stand and bend your knees a little. For reliability, it is necessary to conduct an "examination" each time in the same position of the body.
In different phases of the cycle, the height of the neck, its softness, moisture content and the nature of cervical mucus change. How the cervix changes before menstruation, the photo shows clearly. During this period, the amount of mucus in the vagina is minimal, the woman feels dry. Sexuality decreases, nervousness increases. Cervical mucus is thick and is a reliable barrier to infections, so it is safe to conduct a digital examination during this period. Cervical os is closed.
If in previous periods the cervix was located high, then it could be felt like a soft tubercle. The cervical os in the open position feels like a deep and rounded indentation. The position of the cervix before menstruation is low, accessible. At the same time, the neck is denser.
During menstruation, it is better not to conduct a study so as not to infect the infection. The cervix becomes open and a little softer so that the blood comes out unhindered. If the fertilization of the egg has occurred, then the consistency of the neck will remain firm, and the pharynx will remain closed. The cervix before menstruation is the same, but when pregnancy occurs, its position changes, it rises high. This may be the first signal to use the test strip.
The position of the organ may changealso as a result of diseases of the cervix, for example, with ectopia. The cervix changes before menstruation and releases bloody exudate if an endometrioid cyst appears. Therefore, it is impossible to engage only in self-examination. A woman should visit her gynecologist every six months for a visual examination and examination for infections.
