In the complex structure of the female body, the cervix is a very special and important joint that connects the uterus and vagina. At the same time, the state of the cervix during pregnancy and childbirth also affects the growth and development of the fetus. The cervix itself also has related secretions to help the fetus develop. So, what is cervical mucus plug?
1. Secretions. Cervical mucus plug is a secretion of cervical canal cells that changes with the periodic changes of magnetic hormones in the female body. It is not usually secreted in large amounts, but when the female body is in ovulation, the amount of cervical mucus plug increases significantly, and it can also promote the entry of sperm into the uterus and the meeting of eggs.
2. Protein gel. As the secretion of the micro cervical mucosa, the cervical mucus plug itself is a kind of protein gel. At the same time, this secretion itself is an important basis for detecting whether women are in the state of ovulation. In addition, when the uterus of women during pregnancy is constantly expanding due to fetal development, the cervical mucus plug can help seal the uterine orifice and protect the growth of the fetus.
3. Signs of redness. Cervical mucus plug is also the first thing that women see when they are about to give birth, because the outflow of cervical mucus plug means that the cervix will open next, accompanied by delivery. Therefore, cervical mucus plug is also a warning signal for women when they are about to give birth, which is of great significance for the next delivery.
