MDMA in combination with psychotherapy has been studied as a treatment for PTSD, and four clinical trials provide moderate evidence in support of this treatment.

Some legends say that the Mongol Genghis Khan was castrated by a Tangut princess using a knife, who wanted revenge against his treatment of the Tanguts and to stop him from raping her. [43] During the Qing dynasty (1644–1911 AD), the sons and grandsons of the rebel Yaqub Beg in China were all sentenced to castration. Surviving members of ...

The creams would have further lightened his skin, and, with the application of makeup, he could appear very pale. [13]
In prepubertal girls, the skin of the vulva is thin and delicate, and its neutral pH makes it prone to irritation. [51] The production of the female sex hormone estradiol (an estrogen) at puberty, causes the perineal skin to thicken by keratinising, and this reduces the risk of infection. [52]
