I'm not so sure that's true - the discomfort part.
I become uncomfortable when people so much as touch me. I won't even let my mother hug me because I don't like how it feels. I don't let anyone touch me. Last doctor's visit I had, my OBGYN asked if she could see that hairy place on my stomach - you no, the normal place, that's related to sex ... that I know nothing about because no one else has been there, even though my doctor told me that people usually use that place- and I wouldn't even let her look at me there. It's not my secrets she wanted to look at ... and all the while ... I didn't even feel comfortable with someone looking at it. Again, ASD here. It's to be expected.
It's more than just discomfort for me in that area. I mean, I'm so sensitive there that it hurts wipe. (I do it, regardless 🙄), but I still can't stand anyone looking at me down there, not to mention someone so much as just touching me on the outside. It would hurt. Badly.
Funny thing... I never relax in public...
Nobody said it was fun or comfortable, kiddo. But I can assure you
it's a whole lot less uncomfortable than going through cancer treatment
because you never got screened. I know it's not fun, but it's for your
protection. It's for the most part cold and impersonal, and they make
small talk, and it takes about 10-15 minutes total. Then you're done for
the year. Don't lose sleep over it.
