Understanding Your Cervix: A Gynecologist Explains Its Role in Sexuality

Cervical Health and Sexuality: Expert Insights from Dr. Raquel Tulleuda In a recent interview on the popular Catalan podcast "El Balcó," Dr. Raquel Tulleuda, a sexologist and gynecologist, shed light on the often-overlooked connection between cervical health and sexual experiences. Dr. Tulleuda explained that occasional bleeding during penetrative sex can be normal, due to the type of epithelium lining the cervix. However, she stressed the importance of seeking medical attention if such bleeding occurs regularly. "The change in epithelium from stratified to glandular is gradual," Dr. Tulleuda explained, "and this transitional zone can be more or less exposed, impacting the experience of penetrative sex." She also discussed how cervical prolapse or elongation can affect sexual comfort. Dr. Tulleuda's insightful discussion highlights the need for open conversations about women's sexual health and the importance of understanding the female anatomy for a more positive sexual experience.
