cervical cancer
okay, my mom just told me that im getting a shot that prevents cervical cancer, and i decided to look online and see what it was.
i have had sex before and im under 18 years old, and they said that some signs of cervical cancer are:
Abnormal vaginal bleeding or a significant unexplained change in your menstrual cycle.
Bleeding when something comes in contact with your cervix, such as during sexual intercourse or the insertion of a diaphragm.
Pain during sexual intercourse.
Abnormal vaginal discharge containing mucus that may be tinged with blood.
and ive had those happen to me. it really freaked me out, and im scared if i have it.
what do i say to the doctor? my parents cannot know ive had sex! i would be murdered. has anyone had this before??
and if you have, please tell me what you did and what happened. thank you im very nervous

I have not had this before but, You can tell your doctor you have been sexually active and you would like an STD test before vacination. Or you can go to a planned parenthood. Your doctor, by law, cannot tell your parents. Your medical records close at 12, making them confidencial. If your doctor does tell your parents, sue the shit out of that doctor.

Don't scare yourself just yet. I think your just being paranoid. When you go to the doctor, tell him/her that you've experienced some of the symtoms that were described on some information you found. He'll probably ask you some more questions, or do an examination to rid yourself of the worries. Your parents don't need to know that you've been sexually active; so don't let that stop you from asking.

Your parents don't need to know. Many of the symptoms have nothing to do with sex. Tell your mom about those ones and that you are a bit worried and would like to be tested. At the doctor's office, tell your mom you would feel more comfortable if she wasn't there, since it is rather awkward. Use that time to talk to the doctor about sex. If you ask your doctor not to say anything to your parents, that should be respected.
Whatever happens, getting tested is very important. Also, those are symptoms of many things, so listen to what your doctor says and don't worry too much about cancer unless your doctor gives you that diagnosis. Let us know how it goes!

First, depending on the state that you live in, you might not be able to dodge around the fact of you having sex. This is only a minor setback, because it is what it is; you felt ready enough to take on the responsiblity of sex, so your parents finding out will only be better for you in the long run.
Now, please go get tested. This has become a topic of more and more importance. Your symptoms could be from your unfamiliarity w/sexual intercourse, at the least, or what you're recieving a shot for, at the worst.
Go get tested and if you can keep your secret safe, great! At the end of the day, getting tested will be the best thing you've ever done!

it is so much more important to live than to have your parents made at you. i agree, ask your mom to sit outside and be very clear with your doctor so that she knows all of your symptoms and can tell if you have canccer. don't get scared yet, it might be nothing, but PLEASE get it checked out or you will regret it later.

I am sure the doctor will ask you questions before you get the shot. Request that your mom wait in the waiting room when you go in to see the doctor.
Be honest with him/her and they won't tell if you request they not tell. If you feel better about it talk to the nurse you'll see before the doctor comes in.
The thing with symptoms online is that they could mean almost anything. They scare people who don't have some medical knowledge. That's not always a bad thing because it sometimes gets people to a doctor.
But they don't always mean anything bad. Just talk to the doctor and he/she will make you feel better about it. :)
