In patients with amenorrhea, is the cervix always palpable in a vaginal exam? If the cervix is not palpable, what would you conclude?

well...one can touch and feel the 1/3 of cervix (which include cervix os) with yr 2 fingers(index and middle) slowing inserting one by one. also we can see the cervix by speculum.

We can evaluate the effacement and dilation of cervix in labor by vaginal exam

Yes, normally the cervix is palpable , if not, i'd think of anatomical abn., Do U/S, HSG etc..
