It also allows menstrual blood to leave a woman's body. Your health care provider may perform a Pap test during your health checkup to look for changes to the cells of the cervix, including cervical cancer. Other problems with the cervix include: Cervicitis - inflammation of the cervix. This is usually from an infection.; Cervical incompetence - This can happen during pregnancy. The opening of the cervix widens long before the baby is due.; Cervical polyps and cysts - abnormal growths on the cervix.
