Which of the following is false about elongation of cervix ?
Ans. is 'c' i.e., It is uncommon for the gland to elongate beyond 5cmsElongation of the CervixIn this condition the supravaginal poion of the cervix is well suppoed by Mackenrodt ligaments but the vaginal poion of the cervix prolapses with the vagina so the supravaginal poion gets stretched and elongated.This usually happens with second degree and third degree prolapse of the uterus.With procidentia, the entire uterus slides with the vagina and hence the cervix retains its normal length.It is not uncommon for the cervix to elongate to as much as 10 cm in length.The cervix may show hyperophy and congestion.The uterus is invariably retroveed.
