Hi Victoria,

You are not odd at all. I don't feel for my cervix, and in fact, have seen where Drs. on here have said it is not necessary to examine your cervix. Some women will do it for fertility purposes, and that may be an exception, but over all, I don't think one should examine it daily. I would think like you, you could injure yourself or cause some sort of infection if you are not "clean." I am curious to see what Drs. say to your particular post. Again, I do remember a Dr. or Drs. on the list saying not to examine the cervix.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
