español term

cervix puntiforme

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general) pelvic examination - pregnancy
This is from a report of a pelvic examination of a pregnant woman:

" ... se observa la vagina ... con cérvix posterior puntiforme ... "

The two translations I have for "puntiforme" are "punctiform" and "pinpoint." Neither of these seems to fit in this situation where they're describing the appearance of the cervix.

I imagine / am guessing that it has to do with the size of the opening of the cervix?

What's the translation I should use here?

Thanks again.

Thanks again ... to everyone, for your help and your support.

Pinpoint (external os/cervix) rather than punctiform seems to be the common way to describe it in English...

* also pinpoint lumen seems more common in Ronert's August-link ;)

Thank you both. .

@Joe Remember this one from August?

I would imagine "punctiform" is correct here because it relates to size. As I mentioned in that other question, according to Stedman's, it means less than 1 mm in diameter but not microscopic.

It means that the external os is small and round, looking like a point. This is an usual finding in nulliparous women.
