Hello,
I’ve come across a small discussion in which someone used the term “uterine opening” in an educational post online re: checking cervical dilation, and I noticed 3 people “correct” them to say “cervix” instead.
My question: is cervix more correct than uterine opening? In my opinion, If we’re trying to be sticklers, you’re measuring the dilation of the cervical os (the space). My point here was that the people trying to correct were doing way too much, but I didn’t want to call them out for being extra and then actually be wrong myself lol.
