Hello Doctor,

Can my cervix change position by going higher and becoming softer due to intensive exercise?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

In general, the means of suspending ligaments and fibers are strong enough to maintain this balance, except of course for women of advanced age. During exercise, especially activities that engage the core muscles, the position of organs within the pelvis can shift slightly. This can cause the cervix to change position, potentially becoming higher and softer. Additionally, increased blood flow and hormonal changes associated with exercise can also affect the cervix's texture and position. However, any significant or persistent changes should be discussed with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.

Thanks
