Wow a roundworm in an endocervical location. The only feature I can see is the spine or mucron at lower end, this is typical of anisakis. But the location is just weird.
Jamal
Trichuris Trichiura
I am thinking pinworm...Lee
Trichinella spirilas
The striated body is consistent with a nematode. The more common worm for this site is E. vermicularis, yet the short tail rules out this possibility. The little spine at the end of the tail is consistent with Anisakis. I agree with Jamal, the location is unthinkable.
Florida Fan
the posterior end and cuticle goes with Gonglonema pulcrum in an abnormal site
By size, Anisakis or others mentiones are out of discussion. Trichinella is most possible, probably in this location via the endometrium-uterus.
A cool but rather "disturbing" web site....
We are dying of terminal illness and happened across this site....
