Ok! Well I have to go to the doctor tuesday with my mom to get birth control. Im just really stressing out about the papsmear. I shave down there and Im not sure whether or not I want my mom in the room when they do that. They also have to ask you if your sexually active and I really dont want my mom knowing all that either! Any info, advice, etc.?
StArZsHiNe4yOu answered Sunday October 24 2004, 8:28 pm: When you get taken to the gyno they usually bring you into a seperate room with out your mom and ask you if they are allowed to give out any personal information to your parents like your sexual activity and so on. If you sign the paper than they are NOT allowed to tell your parents anything. As far as your mom goes, I would just tell her that you feel uncomfortable with her in the room and ask if she can wait in the lounge. I'm sure she won't be offended. Good Luck!

If you are worried about what she'll think, just explain to her that this appointment is embarrassing enough - you don't want her in there as well, adding to the embarrassment. I'm sure she'll understand. [ xostripped's advice column | Ask xostripped A Question ]
alisonmarie answered Tuesday October 19 2004, 10:53 am: Your mom shouldn't be in the room with you. If you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to see the doctor. Letting your mom know in advance you want to be alone shouldn't be a problem - I should think the doctor would EXPECT your mom to stay in the waiting room.
With no mother there, you can ask questions and be totally upfront about your sexual life; they will not pass the info onto your mom.
So - go in alone. It sounds scarier than it is - though I can't think of anything worse than having your mom be there while your vaginal area gets examined!!
PinoyBoi answered Tuesday October 19 2004, 10:45 am: hey.. well ask her to leave the room...if she respects your privacy then she would leave,,just ask her to leave..really..just refuse to do it unless she leaves..you naw mean?well good luck wit dat peace
MelikoDee answered Tuesday October 19 2004, 4:47 am: Your mom won't be in the room. Just ask her politely to leave and say you don't feel comfortable.
I'm sure your mom knows you are sexually active since you are getting a Pap Smear done.
Why do you think Pap Smears are done after women become sexually active? Don't underestimate your mom.
Even if she is in the room, chances are she won't see a thing. They have curtains in most offices and your doctor will give you the option to either have your mom in the room or not. [ MelikoDee's advice column | Ask MelikoDee A Question ]
socalblondie0202 answered Monday October 18 2004, 7:58 pm: this is all verry simple...you have to tell your mother that you would rather not have her in there i had to do the verry same thing. There is nothing to be worried about most likely your mother will have no porblem and if she does i am sure the nurse or who ever will tlak to her. your comfert is top priority adn i am sure the people at the clinic or doctors know that. no worries sweetheart.

Xo_Blondii_oX answered Monday October 18 2004, 5:57 pm: you dont have to have your mom in the room! just say your not comfortable with your mom in the room and when they ask you if your sexually active tell them, but say you would rather your mom not know! and to keep it on the DL (downlow) they would listen and if they tell her then you should find a new doc.

sweetiixx3 answered Monday October 18 2004, 5:46 pm: tell your mom that you want to talk to the doctor alone and if she says no then tell her that you want privacy and that your old enough to go in to the office alone. [ sweetiixx3's advice column | Ask sweetiixx3 A Question ]
EMiLYELiZABETH answered Monday October 18 2004, 4:44 pm: Hi. If you don't want your Mom in there, tell her, "Mom, I would appricate it if you'd stay in the waiting room so the Docto & I can talk openly." If she can't accept that, then talk to the Doctor and by rights, they should make her leave. If it's a male doctor, you could always ask for a nurse to be in there, if you're nervous about that.
About the birth control pills, I got kinda lucky, I got put on them for prevention of cysts, but I use them for the obvious too LOL
Here is a link that tells a TON of info about visit's and what not. Good luck!!
xxxxxx answered Monday October 18 2004, 3:17 pm: i heard that the doctors do tell your parents everything you tell them (because they are your parents and have the right to know)... WHILE i heard other times that no, they keep all the information confidential. so im not sure which is correct. i can see why you dont want your mom to know if you are sexually active, i woudlnt either. maybe each doctor does a different thing, im not sure? i think you should find out if they do tell your parents or not. but if they do, hey you have no choice! let me know how it went... im nervous for when i go! =) [ xxxxxx's advice column | Ask xxxxxx A Question ]
