Cervix

The cervix is the lowermost part of the uterus which connects the uterus to the vagina in female reproductive organs. It plays a vital role in childbirth by dilating the opening during the labor. During ovulation, the cervix produces cervical mucus to help the sperm travel to the uterus. The cervix also produces mucus that helps in the prevention of infections. Additionally, it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle. Finally, some medical procedures, such as the Pap test, use the cervix to screen for cervical cancer.

Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. It occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. It starts in the cells lining the cervix.
