The main physiological role of an adult woman is the conception and birth of healthy 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 affected by other hormones - gestagens. This period can be called premenstrual, and the female body can feel in a special way that the egg has come out and menstruation will soon begin. Gynecologists call monthly "bloody tears" of the uterus after an aborted pregnancy. The cervix changes before menstruation in the same way as the entire reproductive system. These changes can be seen by the gynecologist or the woman herself can feel on palpation.
The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina. The cervix before the menstruation is groped on its own by introducing the entire middle finger into the vagina. In this case, a certain bulge, a tubercle should be felt. When conducting research 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 foot on a stand and bend your knees slightly. For reliability, it is necessary to carry out an “inspection” each time in the same body position.
In different phases of the cycle, the height of the neck, its softness, moisture and the nature of the cervical mucus changes. 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 builds up. Cervical mucus is thick and a reliable barrier to infections, therefore it is safe to conduct a digital examination during this period. The pharynx of the cervix is closed.
If in previous periods the cervix was high, then it could be felt like a soft tubercle. The pharynx of the cervix in the open position is felt as a deep and round depression. The position of the cervix before menstruation is low, affordable. In this case, the neck is more dense.
During menstruation, it is better not to conduct a study so as not to infect the infection. The cervix becomes open and slightly softer so that the blood comes out unhindered. If fertilization of the egg occurs, the consistency of the neck will remain solid, 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 can also change as a result of diseases of the cervix, for example, with ectopia. The cervix before menstruation changes and releases bloody exudate if an endometrioid cyst appears . Therefore, you can not do only self-study. A woman should visit her gynecologist every six months for a visual examination and examination for infection.
