- 0:06Get vaccinated against age prev and news condoms. I feel like this is this
- 0:10is what will be written on my homestone. This is all I say.
- 0:21Do you feel comfortable talking about what goes on in your bedroom? Maybe to
- 0:26your close friends, if at all? Why is it still such a taboo
- 0:30to speak about sexual health and well being when it's one of the most natural
- 0:35and beautiful aspects of our lives. Today we're speaking to a millennial doctor who
- 0:41has made it her mission to speak to the next generation about sex and health
- 0:45in a super casual way. Hi. I'm Evelyne Sharma, and you're listening
- 0:54to Love Matters, a podcast about relationship topics that matter to you and me.
- 1:00I'm so glad to welcome today's guest, a medical doctor, fellow podcast
- 1:03host, best selling author, and face behind Instagrams incredibly popular doctor Cutus,
- 1:11Doctor Tenaya. It's so great to have you on the show today. Thank
- 1:15you so much for having me. I'm so started to be awesome. Well,
- 1:18I have a ton of questions for you, so let's jump right in.
- 1:22First of all, I want to know what moved you to start the
- 1:26doctor Cutus account on Instagram and how did you come up with the name.
- 1:32So I grew up in a very sex positive and a very relaxed household,
- 1:37both my parents and doctors, which meant that my idea of the human body
- 1:41was extremely chill. I never thought, you know, there's parts of the
- 1:44body we're technically supposed to be ashamed or for something like that, which meant
- 1:48that when I went to parties, I would say completely inappropriate things like one
- 1:53example, give us an example. It's technically not even inappropriate. But I
- 2:00remember I was invited to a birthday party. And this is back in the
- 2:01day when you know, when you used to go to birthday parties with your
- 2:05parents, So it must have been six or seven, and Mom didn't turn
- 2:08up to the party, and when I was asked, I said, oh,
- 2:12she's gone to operate on somebody's ut risk, and the host got so
- 2:16cross with me, you know, they made me stand in a corner for
- 2:19the rest of the party, and I wasn't allowed to participate in the party
- 2:21because I was talking about shameful things. So us okay, can you imagine?
- 2:27And the Utrius is the very first home they all have, you know,
- 2:30we all have very fond memories of our first home. So I think
- 2:34it's time we extend that courtesy to the uts. It's a really cute organ.
- 2:38It's about the size of your fist when you're not pregnant. Not mind
- 2:40right now, it's probably the size of the melon by now, so exactly.
- 2:49I mean something going from the size of a fist to the size of
- 2:51a melon and then going back to fist size. I think it's amazing.
- 2:53So I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the utus, and I
- 2:58thought, let's rephrase it and let's make get cute. It's a cute uterus
- 3:01is doctor cuts. And I think it was just an extension of the kind
- 3:07of work I was doing offline as well. There was a lot of misinformation
- 3:09on social media, particularly a lot around women's reproductive and sexual health, which
- 3:15kind of I don't know. One day I woke up and I was like,
- 3:17why am I not doing this? Let's do this, and yeah,
- 3:22now it's it's it's a thing. Now it's got a million followers, so
- 3:25it's definitely a thing. Now that's awesome. Why do you call yourself a
- 3:32millennial doctor in your bio and how does that, you know, make you
- 3:37different from other doctors. One of the things that I learned. I've had
- 3:40the privilege of like seeing medicine being practiced in three different countries. And one
- 3:46of the things that I saw that was very different between India where I did
- 3:51my medical training and the UK where I did my masters, was that there's
- 3:55a very big focus on doctors explaining things to their patients, you know,
- 4:00explaining diagnoses and giving giving you an opportunity to make a decision for what healthcare
- 4:04action you want. Now that sounds very basic, but it was quite radicate
- 4:10to my brain because this is not really how we practice medicine in India.
- 4:15What's the difference between say, the West and the Eastern philosophy of medicine.
- 4:23I wouldn't necessarily label it as West and nies. I think that's a very
- 4:27India specific problem because of the amount of patient load we have. We just
- 4:30have way too many patients and we have very few doctors, which means that
- 4:32we don't have the space to sit down and have you know, long conversations
- 4:38with our patients. You know, medicine is extremely tri arge heavy over here,
- 4:42which means that when I went to the UK and I worked with the
- 4:46NHS, I saw that, you know, the doctors would come up with
- 4:49like five different treatment options and ask the patients, Hey, what do you
- 4:53want? That's amazing? That is amazing? Is this how it's supposed to
- 4:59work? So how do you find practicing in India? And when did you
- 5:02start practicing in India? I finished medical school in twenty seventeen, which is
- 5:06when I started working in India, and then the same year I went off
- 5:11to the UK for my master's so as technically be in fact properly practicing since
- 5:15twenty nineteen. And I felt that I was catering to a very millennial audience
- 5:21with very millennial questions, which wasn't the case with my mom's practice or my
- 5:27dad's practice. And that's kind of how things evolved, and I became the
- 5:31millennial doctor case. So it's more because of your patience, it's not because
- 5:34you're a millennial. I guess it's both, you know what. To be
- 5:39honest, I've never really thought about it. I just wanted that, you
- 5:42know what, does like a young person. I didn't know the term gen
- 5:46z existed back then. By the way, I'm a little nube. But
- 5:48that's all right. They just joined anyway, they just joined the party.
- 5:53So yeah, that's true. I agree with that. So, you know,
- 5:59my kind of patients wanted to learn about anail sex, and they wanted
- 6:01to learn about different contraception options, and they wanted to learn about sex stories.
- 6:06Sounds like that's so cool. Yeah, so are you You're working as
- 6:11a medical doctor and your patients are so open that's awesome. Are they also
- 6:15like that in their social circles? Do you think? Or is it there?
- 6:18It's a to do, but then talking to the doctor is okay?
- 6:25I think yeah. I think, you know, people have kind of learned
- 6:29to understand that this is a safe space and they can ask whatever questions they
- 6:31like, which led to people coming up with more questions that you would normally
- 6:38expect people to be asking their doctors. So I think it's it's kind of
- 6:41like a cycle. You know, the more I create this kind of content,
- 6:44the more I get these kind of patients, which means the more I
- 6:47have the questions to create this kind of content. Staying so, since today's
- 6:51topic is sexual health and wellness, could you briefly describe to your audience what
- 6:58that includes. Sexual health is basically reproductive genital health, and it can include
- 7:05things like how do you keep it as healthy as possible and how do you
- 7:10keep it as positive as possible. And it also includes treatments of different issues,
- 7:14for example, fertility issues or psychosexual issues to name a couple of things.
- 7:20They can be erectile dysfunction, they can be imaginousness, fertility issues.
- 7:26They can be the inability to have an orgasm. So it's a wide variety
- 7:29of things and the focus is on the genitals essentially. Yeah, okay,
- 7:32I'm so fascinated already by this conversation. But first of all, thanks for
- 7:36being so open about sharing your experience and everything. In each episode, our
- 7:42Love Matters team puts together some statistics about the topic. So let's look at
- 7:47some facts and figures when it comes to sexual wellness in India matters. According
- 7:57to the Times of India, India is the fifth most sexually active country in
- 8:01the world, but resistance to conversation about sex and a lack of sex education
- 8:07has led to high levels of unawareness. Some six percent of the adult population
- 8:13is diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases and reproductive tract infections every year in India.
- 8:20M that's a very interesting fact and it sounds like not talking about sex can
- 8:26really have negative impacts. We heard that six percent is diagnosed with STDs,
- 8:31but I wonder if there is an unofficial number, an estimate of how bad
- 8:37the situation kind of really is. I'm sure a lot of people are too
- 8:41shy to seek a doctor's help when you know they have just an itch.
- 8:46Basically, do your patients usually come at an early stage or a later stage
- 8:52when they feel ill. I can guarantee that number is not even the ticult
- 8:58the iceberg because the kind of medical training we get. We don't have a
- 9:01sexual medicine specialization in anything. Okay, okay, yeah, which is very
- 9:07shocking and said, which means that most of the patients that come to us
- 9:13come in fairly advanced stages because you know, they don't know who to go
- 9:18to. They don't know if organicol just as the right person or a medical
- 9:20doctors the right person. And to add to that, the most common symptom
- 9:24of an STI is more symptoms at all, which means that, yeah,
- 9:28it's it's unfortunately quite a delayed diagnosis. In fact, one of the reasons
- 9:33why I got into this field in the first place was because I was training
- 9:37as a fertility specialist. So I was training in procedures like IVF and IUI
- 9:43and things like that, And most of the times I would walk away from
- 9:48the clinic and I would sort and think, if these people had the right
- 9:50sex set or the reproductive education at the right time, they probably would not
- 9:54have to go through you know, so many hopes and you know, fight
- 9:58so many battles because a lot of these cases work quite preventive. Can you
- 10:01name can you name one or two? So futility education, for example,
- 10:07a lot of people don't know when you suppose, for example, particularly for
- 10:11women or people with ovaries, there is a certain reserve your bond with.
- 10:16There is a certain amount of eggs you're bond with, which means you need
- 10:20to prioritize. You need to decide when you want to have children and how
- 10:26much of a priority you want to make it, because you can struggle with
- 10:28fertility issues if you delay it for too long. And of course it's quite
- 10:33a struggle, you know, trying to make your own life and then also
- 10:35having a baby in the middle of it's quite a lot. But is that
- 10:39very general like everyone should kind of like have babies, say before they thirty
- 10:43five, or is that very personal that, oh, you're like, you
- 10:48know, running out of eggs, so maybe have children before twenty eight.
- 10:52And then somebody else is like, hey, you have until you're like forty
- 10:56two. Is that something that you need to get checked or is that a
- 11:01very like general number that we can tell our audience. So it's a difficult
- 11:05answer because you know, statistically, yes, there is a certain age we
- 11:09push people for. We always encourage having your first child before thirty five.
- 11:13But of course it's different for different people. Some people have a great egg
- 11:18reserve, some people have a low egg reserve even when they're younger. My
- 11:20mom had me when she was forty, So you know, these numbers,
- 11:26you know, there's there's all kinds of numbers we get. We recently had
- 11:28a patient in that clinic who was struggling with fertility issues and I think she
- 11:33was twenty four. Oh okay, yeah it is well, I guess everything
- 11:37gets medicine is very personal. Forty two body. Yeah, it's a huge
- 11:43range, but on average, yes, we do encourage people to prioritize a
- 11:48pregnancy before thirty five, at least that the first rag. That's so interesting.
- 11:52I also because I was I think I was thirty five when or thirty
- 11:58four when I had my first pregnancy. Now I'm in my second pregnancy,
- 12:03so I'm older, isn't that. But it was really interesting the first pregnancy
- 12:07because I was thirty five. They wanted to market as like a risk that's
- 12:13the technical m Yeah, and like it's very interesting. What you also said,
- 12:18and what people don't really hear, is that your first pregnancy should be
- 12:24before the age of thirty five. And I always thought all your pregnancies need
- 12:28to be before the age of thirty five, so you have to have all
- 12:31your kids before thirty five. But then actually the statistics is that you should
- 12:35have your first baby before thirty five, isn't that. So we say two
- 12:39main drops in fertility. The first cliff, what we call it the fertility
- 12:45cliff. The first drop comes at thirty two, and then the second drop,
- 12:48like a very significant drop, comes around thirty five. And this is,
- 12:52you know, on an average in very large population data sets. Yeah,
- 12:54so in this what we realize is that how you do your don't have
- 13:00your life together, to be very honest. So, yeah, we don't
- 13:05want to encourage people who are not in the position to care for a baby
- 13:09financially, emotional, socially to you know, bang out a baby right now.
- 13:13You know, we need it now so hard to have a very Oh
- 13:20gosh, well that's for another that's for another conversation I should have yeah,
- 13:28with my therapist. But yeah, what's another thing that you wish people knew?
- 13:33I think STI education is so important because a lot of sexually transmitted infections
- 13:39lead to and you know, because most of them don't have symptoms. A
- 13:41lot of people have no idea that they have an star and they've been carrying
- 13:45it around for years, and it can lead to changes on the inside of
- 13:48your body, which means that you have no idea that you know, there's
- 13:52permanent and very significant changes that are occurring inside the body that can be prevented
- 13:56if we, you know, educated more people about using condom or getting regular
- 14:01STI screens, or you know, just save sexual practices essentially. So it's
- 14:07an STI the same as an STD Sorry, I've I'm just not. We
- 14:13prefer the term STI now because it's less stigmatizing and also a disease usually tends
- 14:20to have it's it's a debate in the medical community, to be honest,
- 14:22but we all have started seeing STIs now, so a disease is something that
- 14:26has to be in your life for a significant amount of time, and you
- 14:30know it has to be a certain amount of chronicity. What chronic There has
- 14:35to be a chronic element to it. Do you think by the time people
- 14:39come to the doctor in India it is an STD? Very often? Yes,
- 14:46we see a lot of pelvic inflammatory disease in our clinic in this side
- 14:50of the country at least. Yeah, which means so after repeated STIs which
- 14:56have gone undiagnosed, there's a significant amount of I changed. Now there's the
- 15:01chronic element, so it becomes pelvic inflammatory disease. Right, So prevention of
- 15:05course, as always is the best way to go about it. But then
- 15:13when when do you think it's time to see a doctor? When is it
- 15:16not too late to see the doctor? Like I mean, you know,
- 15:20do you go to the doctor if you have like I mean, I know
- 15:22a lot of women problems obviously, you know, maybe you have itchy or
- 15:28you're you've got well it just doesn't look the way it's supposed to look or
- 15:33it usually looks. Should you immediately find a doctor or should you wait and
- 15:37see and put some yogurt on it? And you know that home remedies the
- 15:43internet gives you. I also saw somebody on TikTok inserting a garic garlic clothes.
- 15:52Oh, and the cloth coming out completely blue because you know the feet
- 15:56of them, which changed so dramatically. So I sent to the gullico pickled
- 15:58inside. They Oh, no, I did not know that you can see
- 16:03vaginas on TikTok. TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. Sorry, really not from
- 16:08this gen z Okay, we'll cut that out. I didn't say that.
- 16:15No, I think it should be that this is golden. I feel like
- 16:19a mom now, truly, what are you doing on your TikTok? Don't
- 16:26show you a vagina on the TikTok? Oh? God? So yeah,
- 16:33when when do you When do you see the doctor? So what we recommend
- 16:37is that every time you get a new partner, you should get an STI
- 16:41screen to make sure that you know you're you're testing negative for everything and you're
- 16:45not passing on anything accidentally to your partner. And other than that, you
- 16:48know, if things are different, if there's something that isn't the way it's
- 16:55meant to be, quote to your doctor, and you know obviously this is
- 16:57not catering to a country like America, but it's very expensive to go to
- 17:02a doctor. But you know, in countries with nationalized healthcare like India and
- 17:06all, we can afford to do this. Yeah, okay, if things
- 17:08don't local ge doctor, yeah, they don't feel okay. I guess,
- 17:12like you know, sometimes it's difficult to pee and you wonder why and just
- 17:18go and see a doctor. I mean, they'll just probably make you pee
- 17:23into a little cup and that's it, and it's not that scary. I
- 17:27think, like when I lived in India and I told my friends, my
- 17:30female friends, that I go to a gynac regularly because in Germany you're raised
- 17:37in the way that you're supposed to see a gynecologist like twice a year just
- 17:41for you know, some checkups, the routine stuff. Not everything is very
- 17:47comfortable. I'm going to be honest. I feel there is a lot of
- 17:51scope still in gynecology to invent instruments that are a lot more pleasant for the
- 17:56female organ. I don't know about men how they feel when they go to
- 18:00their doctor, but for me, I don't think it's always very pleasant.
- 18:07But still, like a lot of female friends were shocked that I would go
- 18:11to a guy in of colleges and they're like, but you're not pregnant.
- 18:15I'm like, well, that's really late, because yeah, you need to
- 18:19check a lot of things before you fall pregnant. And you know, they're
- 18:23just general things that your doctor checks for your well being. And what are
- 18:30some common checks that a doctor will do when you go, you know,
- 18:34say on a regular basis, Say you go every six months, every twelve
- 18:37months, just to get a check up done. I think that's a brilliant
- 18:41healthcare practice to go to ceogenical just at least once a year. And one
- 18:48of the things we do so we check we do a bapsmire every three years
- 18:52where we check for any changes in the cells of the bottom part of the
- 18:56uterus. So cervical cancer is exceedingly common and it's often diagnosed quite late because
- 19:04the symptoms are extremely vague. So this is why we do a screening test
- 19:08called it perhaps ME every three years. Other than this, they can run
- 19:11routine blood test to make sure your iron levels are good because you know,
- 19:15women menstrue it, so the blood loss can cause changes in your iron levels.
- 19:22So your hemoglobin needs to be monitored. Basic vitamins need to be monitored,
- 19:29and just a general wellness checkup, including checking the breasts. We encourage
- 19:33everybody to check their breasts once every month to make sure there's nothing new,
- 19:37nothing different that looks or feels different. So yeah, just a basic looking
- 19:45everywhere to make sure things are running perfectly right. And I guess your doctor
- 19:49just checks in with you. You know, about your sex life as well,
- 19:52like are you active? Are you're not active? Why are you not
- 19:56active? Doctor? I used to tell me Evelynce, it's time to make
- 20:03some babies. Come on. I'm like, I'm glad I waited. But
- 20:11yeah, also checking in on your contraception, making sure you know it's doing
- 20:15well for you, if you need to changes your medication. Review things like
- 20:18that, why are you acting crazy? You may be on the wrong sail,
- 20:22let's change that. What are a few more practices that every person can
- 20:29do stay on a daily routine or a weekly routine us to improve their personal
- 20:33hygiene, you know, just to avoid falling ill. Something that you can
- 20:37do for yourself self care. I love blending this as self care because you
- 20:42know, in this in this world, we've started seeing self care scandals and
- 20:45face masks, which may not necessarily be and crystals upper vagina and vaginal steams
- 20:55and all that stuff that is crazy scary, But I mean not the that
- 21:02stuff. I mean, like, what's a real thing that you can do
- 21:06for yourself. I think that's some very simple tips we can, you know,
- 21:10use to ensure good genital health and good sexual health. Changing your underwear
- 21:15every day, even if you know, if you don't think it's dirty,
- 21:18it is. Microscopically it's quite dirty, So change it every day, going
- 21:23bra free every now and then. There's no medical or scientific reason to wear
- 21:30a bra, unless, of course, you know your breast are quite heavy
- 21:32and it helps you. If you if it helps you in some way,
- 21:34go ahead. But at least sleeping, yeah, exactly, sleeping without a
- 21:41bra, because you know it does compress parts of the body. So we
- 21:45also encourage sleeping without underwear, but that's not a practical possibility for most people.
- 21:51So that's okay. Other than this, making sure you're not adding anything
- 21:56to your genitals. You don't need a fancy hygiene wash. Simple soap and
- 22:00water does fine. Used to be general soap on your privates. So no,
- 22:11that's true because a lot of the soap we find that the market is
- 22:17usually very heavily fragrant. Store has you know, colors oblata particles added to
- 22:22it. Particles. Yeah, privates deserves some glad. I saw this wonderful
- 22:32peanut colada flavors. Yeah, okay, I didn't wash. Okay, so
- 22:40the flavored and the preservatives and all just something organic, something free of all
- 22:47the extras. Yeah. So a simple glistening based soap is fine, and
- 22:53we also encourage I mean, one of the primary things to remember is that
- 22:56the hygiene for a vulva versus a va giant is different. So the vagina
- 23:00is the canal on the inside. We don't do anything there, no water,
- 23:03no soap, no steam, nothing that way. It's a self cleaning
- 23:07urban and with the vulva we can do plain soap and water or even plain
- 23:14water is fine. If somebody has a penis, then they should make sure
- 23:18and if they're not circumcised, they should make sure they pull back the foreskin
- 23:21and clean because there can be a lot of oil and debris and dead cells
- 23:26which can essentially make the foreskin stick in place and lead to complications and infections.
- 23:33After they're done cleaning, they should move the first skin back to its
- 23:34original trace and yeah, that's it. It's really simple. We don't really
- 23:40need to mess around, to be honest. Yeah. Interesting. Oh,
- 23:45and everybody should examine their breasts once a month and people with the penis should
- 23:52examine their testicles once a month because the secular cancer is extremely common and one
- 23:56of the if diagnosed early, you know, we can treat it quite nicely.
- 24:00And one of the first peaks we see with the testicular cancers around the
- 24:07thirties. So you know, people of the millennial age group should be quite
- 24:11careful in checking. Yeah, check your testicles tonight. Check your balls that
- 24:18they can be on your chests, they can be in your groin. Just
- 24:21the balls should be checked. Everything that feels good, just check it,
- 24:29Okay. So then let's move to what are some safety simple safety tips while
- 24:34having sex that people can follow to prevent illnesses. Use a condoms. This
- 24:40is the single best thing you can do for your sexual health. Is that
- 24:44just for penetration or should you use that for all types of sex, oral
- 24:49sex, anal sex, vaginal sex, whatever, condoms all the way.
- 24:53And if you're having oral sex on a vulva, then you can use dental
- 24:56dance and it's quite easy to make one and from using a condom. If
- 25:00you're not able to find them in the market, they're usually quite expensive for
- 25:03some reason. But yeah, there are a super helpful practice in making sure
- 25:11they work as a barrier and making sure you don't get any STIs and get
- 25:15the HPV vaccine. I encourage everybody I meet in every party, every street,
- 25:21every building, please get vaccinated against HPV. It what is an HPV
- 25:26for? Sit down now. So HPV is a family of viruses. There's
- 25:30about two hundred of them, out of which about ten odd ones are very
- 25:36seriously linked with causing different kinds of cancers, cancer of the cervix, of
- 25:41the anus, of the penis, of the back, of the throat,
- 25:45of the mouth. So yeah, there's a huge variety of cancers, and
- 25:48it can also lead to watch and we have vaccines available that protect you from
- 25:56these more dangerous strains. And anybody between the ages of nine to forty five
- 26:03can get it. Some older data said that you can get it only up
- 26:06to the age of twenty six, but that was changed in twenty and eighteen
- 26:08and now everyone, no matter what entities you have, nine and forty five,
- 26:14if you're between that age group get the vaccine. Okay. Interesting,
- 26:18you've said that you want to provide especially young people with the kinds of information
- 26:23that you wish you had had when you grew up. But you said that
- 26:27you already knew about a uterus when you were like six. So what other
- 26:33things did you not know about that you wish you knew. I will credit
- 26:40my parents and providing me all the right scientific information, but you know,
- 26:45sex was still something he didn't. I don't know how shame is. Shame
- 26:49was instilled in me, but it was still not you know, sex positivity
- 26:56as a conversation, Pleasure as a conversation will seriously missing. And I feel
- 27:02like, you know, for the longest time, I used to feel ashamed
- 27:07of seeking pleasure, and I really hope we can change that with you know,
- 27:12comprehensive sexual education. We can teach people that pleasures would here are the
- 27:18ways you can achieve pleasure, and there's nothing shameful or wrong about pleasure.
- 27:23That's a good point. You talked in some interview about the Dutch, the
- 27:30Dutch model, which is very interesting. I think it's said that the Dutch
- 27:37kind of introduce things like love and friendship and then they move on to generals
- 27:44and then at some point to actually get into sex or how does it work.
- 27:48Yeah, so when you're in kindergarten they talk about like love and relationships
- 27:53and couples, and then as you grow older, you know, the conversation
- 27:57gives graduate interest thing. Do you feel like there has been a shift in
- 28:03how people talk about sexual wellness from like they ask millennials to the next generation,
- 28:07the gen Z? Do you think? Oh, for sure? Yeah,
- 28:11I think what's the different things have really changed? They have unprecedented access
- 28:17to information. You know, these guys can look at whatever they want,
- 28:19which means that they're also a lot more confident then I think we were as
- 28:26student as a generation, which allows them to be able to ask these questions.
- 28:33I think I really like the fact that you said the word approachability,
- 28:37and that's a wonderful That's a wonderful thing to focus on because the conversation has
- 28:44become more approachable now. More and more people are willing to discuss it.
- 28:48More and more people are wanting to have these discussions with their children, which
- 28:52has been which is a very refreshing and wonderful change. And there's just more
- 28:57acceptance generally we're having these conversations with you know, legal changes and policy level
- 29:04changes in the news, you know, with things changing in India where we're
- 29:08just having the marriage equality discussion right now, which it's created a very good
- 29:14avenue for people being able to ask questions and have those questions answered with you
- 29:22know, things changing so much and making it a more healthier and safer and
- 29:26happier environment for everybody. Yeah, that's good. I love how your sex
