Correct Answer » D Explanation |

A strawberry cervix is a finding upon examination where the cervix has a punctate and papilliform appearance. It is named because of the superficial appearance to a strawberry.
As opposed to a more general inflammation of the cervix found in cervicitis, the strawberry cervix is considered to be selectively associated with Trichomonas infections.
Only 2% of women with the infection will have a “strawberry” cervix or vagina on examination.This is due to capillary dilation as a result of the inflammatory response.
