Abstract
Igbo women inhabit one of the most densely populated regions of Africa. This study suggests that cervical incompetence in Igbo women is prevalent among the literate and higher socioeconomic group, that it occurs at an earlier age when compared with published series, possibly reflecting earlier marriage and childbearing, and that the damage occurs mostly during the first or second delivery.
