Cervical canal widening can be temporarily achieved by the insertion of dilators into the cervix. If the stenosis is caused by scar tissue, a laser treatment can be used to vaporize the scarring. [5] Finally, the surgical enlargement of the cervical canal can be performed by hysteroscopic shaving of the cervical tissue. [6]
There are two main treatment options for women facing weak cervical tissue. The first is a cerclage — stitches placed at the base of the cervix to keep it closed.

Women over the age of 50 with cervical cancer tend to have a higher risk of vaginal stenosis from radiation therapy. [10] Tobacco use is also associated with a higher risk of vaginal stenosis. [ 10 ] There is also a high correlation between vaginal stenosis and vaginal pallor reactions, which is when the mucous membranes thin and dry out ...
The cervix grows in size at a smaller rate than the body of the uterus, so the relative size of the cervix over time decreases, decreasing from being much larger than the body of the uterus in fetal life, twice as large during childhood, and decreasing to its adult size, smaller than the uterus, after puberty. [10]
The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is one of the most commonly used approaches to treat high grade cervical dysplasia (CIN II/III, HGSIL) and early stage cervical cancer discovered on colposcopic examination. In the UK, it is known as large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ).
