Thanks Dr. Shanahan. One more question, one cervix is significantly
smaller than the other (my doctor uses a child-sized speculum when
examining that side). Should I avoid having intercourse on that side
for fear that the uterus may be too small to carry a baby or the cervix
too small to accomodate a delivery? Thanks for responding to my
questions, this information is very helpful.
