The Winter 2026 edition of O&G Magazine explores one of the most studied, and possibly most misunderstood, structures in female anatomy: the cervix. It examines the remarkable impact of the HPV vaccine, contemporary screening guidelines, and strategies to improve engagement with under-screened populations across Australasia and globally. It also addresses practical and often under-discussed aspects of care, including pain management for cervical procedures, and considers the cervix’s broader role in pelvic floor function and sexual health. This edition highlights that the story of the cervix is as much about scientific progress as it is about ethics, equity, and access.
