What You Need to Know About Your Cervix. The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus. It widens during childbirth to allow for the passage of the baby. It also allows the passage of menstrual fluid from the uterus, and sperm needs to travel through the cervix in order to reach the uterus. Despite the variety of objects passing through the cervix, it is only approximately two inches long, and is tubular in shape. The cervix is vulnerable to several health conditions, such as chronic inflammation, polyps, dysplasia, and cancer.
