A tortuous cervix refers to a cervix that has an abnormal shape or curvature, making it more difficult for healthcare providers to access the uterus during procedures such as a Pap smear or insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). This condition can be congenital or may develop due to previous surgeries, trauma, or infections. While it typically does not cause significant health issues, it may lead to complications during childbirth or gynecological examinations. Proper assessment and management can help address any challenges associated with a tortuous cervix.
