Thank you very much for your time and effort in this project. Please keep up the good work.

I have recently been told during a pap smear that i have a retroverted cervix as I found that penetration is very painful. How can I fix this? any tips?

A retroverted uterus is a common variation of normal for women. The uterus is not fixed in place within the pelvis and is suspended by ligaments. I suppose it therefore is possible for it to change positions from retroverted to anteverted, maybe as tension/muscles shift/move. I also have a retroverted uterus, but do not have painful intercourse due to that. My recommendation to you is to make sure you are very aroused before beginning vaginal penetration, as lubrication and engorgement of the vagina can help intercourse be more pleasurable. The whole uterus moves more internally, out of the way of the penis, when a woman is fully aroused. Check out the book: “Women’s Anatomy of Arousal” for some great tips and information.

it’s much better that women do their own exams instead of handing over their bodies every year to these sick sexist exams, and so they know whats normal and whats not
you can also order one from fwhc.org and can go to my blog homebirthissafe.blogspot.com to see a list of sites where you can order self administered pap kits

These pics are amazing, and very educational, thank you. One silly question: during intercourse, does the penis go through the cervix? Is the sperm ejected outside of the cervix, or through teh cervix into the ovary? I am trying for a long time to get pregnant, but not success yet. I was wondering if sperms ever get into my ovary. Thanks.

At the time of ovulation, the cervical mucous changes.
It looks like egg white for 3-4 days, and develops little channels that escort the sprerm through the cervix, up to the top of the uterus and into the Fallopian tube where its “hot date”, the egg, is waiting. There is a 20% chance of conception at each ovulation (these are Mother Nature’s odds).
If a new batch of sprerm is present every other day through the week of ovulation, (every day makes sperm count go down….he needs 24 hours to recoup), 80% of couples will be pregnant within one year of trying.
If not, we’ve got all kinds of other tricks up our sleeves to facillitate conception.

This is amazing. I was looking for information about the Fertility Awareness Method after coming across a review of “Taking Charge of Your Fertility”, which I happened upon while searching for an online ovulation calculator. I didn’t think this was where I would end up. I had no idea the cervix had a life of its own, that it went through just as much of a cycle as the rest of my body. While it doesn’t look so appealing in some shots I was surprised to find that in certain shots, it is indeed beautiful. I have been looking at fertility and pregnancy all wrong. I know all the parts, I understand all the technical going-on and the changes on paper, but I never really appreciated how much it’s an individual life cycle, like the changing of the seasons. Our bodies are amazing!

Thanks for posting these pictures. As medical students we must learn to exam the cervix to detect any abnormality. However, opportunities to observe in a clinical setting is limited in frequency and duration due to the sensitive nature of the exam. While we were able to find pictures of inflamed inner ears, cancer x ray, sound files of heart murmurs and asthma wheezes, it’s quite hard to find appropriate and variegated pictures of the cervix that come with short explanations. This has tremendous educational value. Please keep up the good work.

Wow, thankyou so much for these pictures. We hear so much about our cervix but never get to see it or really know what it looks like at all. Highly educational! I think all young women should be shown these pictures and educated about their own bodies so that they know what is normal and don’t panic at the changes in discharge throughout their monthly cycles. Well done!!

Comment by Taryn — January 5, 2010 @ 9:07 am
As mentioned above, it would be interesting to see somebody with HPV. I have had level 3 pre-cancerous cells (or a lesion as my Dr called it) removed (LLETZ procedure) and I always wondered what it looked like as apparently they are easy to see when they wipe the cervix with a solution. Being that so many women (especially young women such as myself, 23) have this virus, it would be great to see…it’s not like a normal illness where you suffer symptoms or can visually see what is going on so if you could shed a little light on this, it would be great. I wonder what the cervix looks like after having a lesion removed also (after it has healed).

Thank you so much for giving all of us the chance to actually learn about a very important part of our body. I’ve had 3 c sections, no vag. births – but w/ my first baby I labored nearly 20 hours. That was enough for me.
I’ve asked at every exam to be able to use the mirror to see inside my vagina and have always been refussed. ‘Not needed’ apparently. I can’t thank you enough for giving me this valuable lesson! You are amazing!!!!

I’d be interested to possibly see someone with endometriosis or fibroids? I don’t know if that would be higher up or able to see in the cervix area but I’m curious to find out if women could spot these things themselves using the same techniques you do.
Also how would we go about taking our own pictures to see differences in our own cycles?

I just so happened to stumble upon this when I was wiki-ing the cervix. I’m a naturally curious person and I wanted to know what it looked like. This website really educated me tons about that region of my body. I feel it’s tough for women to know about their vaginal region just because we can’t see it for ourselves. Because of these pictures, I also want to photograph my cervix. And because of your instruction video, I can. This is an amazing project.

Sounds normal to me. The cervix is the tip of the uterus that protrudes into the vaginal canal, so you can sweep your fingers all the way around it.
