Chapter 102 Cervical Eversion
INTRODUCTION
Description: Cervical eversion is a turning outward of the endocervical canal so that it is visible and appears as a red, inflamed mass at the cervical opening.
ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS
Causes: Chronic cervicitis, estrogen exposure (oral contraceptives, pregnancy). (In parous women, the external cervix is sometimes sufficiently patulous to give the false appearance of eversion when the vaginal apex is widely opened during speculum examination.)
