How can I see a Doctor without my parents knowing?

I have a bump on my labia, I dont even know what that means to be quite honest but its a lump on the lips, close to the vagina. I know I have to goto a doctor to see what it is, but we have a family doctor and I dont want to tell my mom. How do you do that anyway? I have anxiety and I really want a doctor that my parents dont know about.

Answer #1

GO TO A PLACE LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CLINIC OR MATTHEW 25 IM SURE WHERE UR FROM HAS A HEALTH CLINIC THAT IS CONFIDENTAL

Answer #2

Go to the health department. All stuff there is completely confidential. Do you think it is an STD or just something thats been there a while?

Answer #3

Actually you can visit your usual doctor. Your doctor in no sense is aloud to to tell your parents the reason you went to see him. All information between you and your doctor should be kept strictly confidential. The confidentiality must only be then broken if your doctor feels that you will be of harm to yourself or to others or if you need to go for futher check ups, in which case further information will be required by your doctor to pass on to the next person dealing with your situation.

Well that’s how it’s done in the UK, and it should be the same where you are too.

Hope that helped
