Cervical Mucus and Vaginal Leakage: What You Need to Know

Question
QUESTION: Hello:

The cervix is surrounded by mucus.  Does this mucus back flow completely out of the vagina onto a women's crotch?  I think that semen often does after intercourse.

I thank you for your reply.

ANSWER: Hello Kenneth from the U.S. (Indiana),

Yes, cervical mucous can be abundant enough to leak out of the vagina.

Good Luck,
