Hi,

Thanks,

Hi there,

From the minimal amount of information you have provided, I can only assume that it is referring to the shallow layers of the cervix that are not responsible for keeping a pregnancy in place. This is an area that they can do pap tests, swabs and colposcopies at no risk to the pregnancy.
