Supravaginal portion of cervix

The supravaginal portion of the cervix is a part of a special organ in the body that is called the uterus. The uterus is like a pouch in the body where babies grow inside their mommy's tummy.

Now, the cervix is like the bottom part of the uterus and it connects to something called the vagina, which is where pee comes out if you're a girl.

The supravaginal portion of the cervix is the top part of the cervix, the part that is closest to the top of the uterus. It is called "supra" because it means "above" and "vaginal" because it is the part that is above the vagina.

It is important to know about the supravaginal portion of the cervix because sometimes, doctors have to remove it if there is something wrong, like cancer. But don't worry, doctors are really good at taking care of our bodies and making sure everything is healthy.
