What Causes Split In The Cervix?

My GP told me it looks as though I have a split cervix and this may be due to trauma at birth. Does this sound possible? It is three years since I gave birth so I would have thought any damage would have healed by now. Could this have anything to do with HPV?

Welcome to world's largest online health forum. I appreciate your visit here.

Yes HPV can cause infection and cervical injury during childbirth becomes more of a possibility with HPV Positive woman.

Split in the cervical (cervical injury and tear) must have been healed up by now. You can go for a transvaginal examination and diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis your GP made for you.

Hope it's all you needed an answer for.

Healthiest Regards!
