The cause of the hypertonicity of the cervix may be a violation of the Central mechanisms maintain the tone of the uterus, i.e. the failure of the Central nervous system, the regulation of muscle tone. It is with heavy physical work, chronic stressful situations at work or at home, any acute infectious diseases (influenza, acute respiratory disease, tonsillitis, pyelonephritis, especially with increased body temperature, etc.).
