Most OB/GYNs will first start by putting your daughter on birth control and see if it helps with the symptoms. They typically wont do anything invasive unless birth control and other methods dont work. July 14, 2020 at 11:56PM

They are mythical reptiles that sometimes have wings, but they were originally snakes so it could be either. The asexual reproduction is referring to the actual microscopic cnidarian called a hydra, it is called that because it can be cut in half and both halves will regenerate, plus they have multiple heads.

I get you- i feel myself prejudiced against “hypersexual” people in particular. I think for me it’s faded over time quite a lot, but tbh I did have to talk to my therapist about it a few years ago. July 14, 2020 at 11:49PM

You're a good mom! She may be able to get some tests before an invasive gyne exam. I'm not sex repulsed but I am autistic and have sensory issues. Something that helped me was learning exactly what the exam was going to include and going to a place that taught me how to do a visual exam on myself and then allowed me to insert and remove a plastic (not metal) speculum that I was allowed to warm up in my hands first. That control over the harshest part of the exam put me much more at ease. Having a female doctor was also important. I hope she will get the blood test at the very least and finds a doctor that will be patient and explain things to her and give her time to be comfortable. July 14, 2020 at 11:48PM

Garlic bread is my favorite food, I could eat it for every meal or just eat it all the time without stopping July 14, 2020 at 11:45PM
