cervix in the process of contracting back down


Shortly after delivery, the cervix begins contracting back down to its previous size. This process can take several days to several weeks.

Dopo 7 giorni dal parto, in alcune pazienti, alla visita, si apprezzerà di nuovo il collo perfettamente ricostituito e si avrà anche la riformazione del canale cervicale.

Thank you, Andrew. I originally thought to leave only contracting, however, the cervix also contracts itself when giving birth and then I thought it would make it clearer to specify that it is contracting back down to reach its original state.
