Medical Conditions - Cervical Incompetence

It is also known as cervical insufficiency, which occurs when a very weak cervical tissue leads to premature birth. Normally before pregnancy, the cervix (lower part of the uterus) is closed. During pregnancy, the cervix softens and opens. In cervical incompetence, the cervix opens very soon, thus leading to early delivery.
