cervix

These types of HPV can cause abnormal changes to the cells in your cervix and are called "high risk" types of HPV.

If a patient’s water breaks or her cervix opens, that risk rises with every passing hour.

That patient had previously undergone surgery to get a hysterectomy, and according to the complaint Lee allegedly said he needed to perform the exam to confirm she did not have a cervix.

Some trans men previously told the BBC they had not been invited to get cervical screenings because they were listed as male on medical records, though they still had a cervix.

The test involves taking a sample of cells from the cervix.
