Plaque Psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of the disease and appears as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells. These patches or plaques most often show up on the scalp, knees, elbows and lower back.They are often itchy and painful, and they can crack and bleed.hile scientists do not know what exactly causes psoriasis, we do know that the immune system and genetics play major roles in its development. Usually, something triggers psoriasis to flare. The skin cells in people with psoriasis grow at an abnormally fast rate, which causes the buildup of psoriasis lesions.
The cervix or cervix uteri (Latin: neck of the uterus) is the lower part of the uterus in the human female reproductive system. In a non-pregnant woman, the cervix is usually 2 to 3 cm long (~1 inch) and roughly cylindrical in shape. The narrow, central cervical canal runs along its entire length, connecting the uterine cavity and the lumen of the vagina.
To allow the passage of sperm from the cervix into the uterus, the cervix opens, softens, and heightens before ovulation. After ovulation, the cervical os closes, returns to a lower position, and the cervical tissues again become firmer. Your cervical position is an optional, secondary fertility sign.o avoid the possibility of infection, always check your cervix with clean hands. Check the cervix once a day after menses. You only need to check once a day, unlike cervical fluid which you may check several times a day. Check your cervix at the same time every day as it may change throughout the day.
