In this study, we found that conization was associated with softness of the cervix. However, the clinical implication of these findings requires more research and, most of all, long-term follow-up is needed for effect of conization on the cervix. A total of 7 women were included. After 7 days of conization, elastographic parameters including elasticity contrast index, and strain values of the IOS and EOS were increased compared with parameters before conization. Otherwise, harness ratio was decreased 7 days after conization. Objectives
