Vaginal and Uterus Health Forum - Doctors telling parents about sex ?

Hey i recently had sex with my boyfirend. Were now broken up but thats uneeded information. I think i may have a yeast infection or something? It began to swell up down in my vagina its gotten better but when clothing or if its touched or rubbed gets irratated and swelled up more. My parents can't know I had sex! And I cna't drive so i had my mom make me appoit. for the docotor for some other things. Will the docotor tell my mom that I had sex if i have to tell her?

There are causes of yeast infections other than sex.
I don't think your doctor would tell your parents

I dont think your doctor would tell your parents anything unless you were experiencing abuse or rape. It would have to be something serious like that. So you should be ok.

I saw my fathers doctor since I was 15 and they never said anything to my Dad. I dont think they can tell anyone your medical history without your consent. But I could be wrong. But like I said before they wont say anything unless you are in danger of some kind.

yes they can

I took my daughter to the doc. for a yearly exam. The doctor came out and told me she needed to talk to me. I know the state where i live at, as long as you are a minor, then they have to tell the parent's.
