The content of Cockscomb cervix was merged into Cervix on September 8, 2018. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Discrepancy between descriptions of cervix length

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The cervix is stated to be 4cm long in the beginning of the article, but 2-3cm long directly under the first diagram (captioned Diagram of the uterus and part of the vagina). The source for the first description (4cm) is from 2017, while the second source is from 1994. I think the second description should be changed to match the first considering the more recent citation, but I'm not 100% sure what would be best. If anyone knows the best way to fix the discrepancy, please let me know or go ahead and edit! Thanks! Isabellagoulet (talk) 04:17, 4 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
