[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand there may not be a home remedy which is why I was asking for telehealth companies. My daughter really needs reassurance, but she isn’t open to the ones I’ve suggested so far.  She doesn’t want to do telemedicine with her doctor.

If you don’t have multiple suggestions she can choose from, it’s really not that hard to just not comment. I’m not sure why that’s so difficult.

Also, I truly did not appreciate comments about infertility or wishing harm on my child. That was unnecessary and extremely upsetting. It made me emotional —she has had worry about infertility before, and since she hopes to have a family one day, those kinds of remarks hit a very sensitive nerve for me emotionally. That’s not what I came here for. [/quote]

I’m fairly sure most telehealth companies will be the same. And again, it’s been a problem for long enough that they’ll want to diagnose in person.

If she’s never been to a gyn before, or had a pelvic exam, I get that they can be scary the first time.

Does she know that the exam will be done by a woman, or if done by a male there will be a female chaperone in the room with her? Obviously she’s allowed to take a support person with her if she feels the need (someone calm, cool, collected would be preferable- they can also help take notes if she’s anxious and worries about remembering everything). It does not have to be a parent, it can be anyone. And if she tells the provider she’s nervous they will explain everything to her about the exam before, and then get consent for each step as it progresses. [/quote]
