If there were no nerves in the cervix, they wouldn't need to numb it for procedures such as an IUD sounding or insertion. There are SOME pain nerves in the cervix, but not as many in other parts of the body--technically you're more likely to feel a pinch from pressure, not pain. Believe it or not, they're just starting to do research into the placement of nerves in the female pelvic region, mostly in the interest of nerve-saving during hysterectomy. Sad.
