Cervical opening during ovulation

Before ovulation, the cervix is ​​closed. This is because the cervix is ​​composed of the cervical canal and the cervical orocal glands, which play a role in the menstrual cycle by expelling sperm and providing the space required for sperm to pass through the female reproductive tract.

During ovulation, the cervix begins to open and gradually expand. This is because during this period, a woman’s eggs are released from the ovaries and enter the fallopian tubes to await fertilization. When the egg enters the fallopian tube, the cervix opens and sperm can enter the fallopian tube through the cervix and combine with the egg.

After ovulation, the cervix gradually closes and remains in the female body for no more than 24 hours. This is because sperm needs to travel quickly through the fallopian tubes to the uterus to combine with the woman's egg. Therefore, during this period, a woman's cervix is ​​open, but only briefly.
