Thank you for answering my question earlier. However, I would rather not tell my mother about the problem whatsoever, as she would pry constantly about wether or not I was sexually active. Despite my being a virgin and telling her so, she still wouldn't believe me and I would likely be in trouble. Do you know of any way that I could consult a doctor without my parents' knowing? I don't have any friends or siblings with a license to drive me.

Hi,
I answer on average about 6 questions a day. I've looked back through the questions I've answered and cannot find a question that matches what you wrote above. What I will offer you today is more or less general advice which I may have already offered. Please respond with more information about your problem so I can give you better advice also your current age.
If you are over 14 under a law called HIPPA you can go to any Doctor you chose for anything related to your reproduction system. This includes any of the clinics that are now opening around the country. You are not restricted to your family doctor. All you need is your health insurance card from your parents’ health insurance company.
You might be able to get one by going on to the insurance companies’ web site and down loading a copy. At the very least you can request one from them over the web. Any child in their teenage years should have an insurance card in their wallets fro as children get older they travel further from parents and may need medical attention.
Where I live there are several walk-in clinics with-in walking distance of our Shopping Mall. Check and see if there may be one of these clinics close to a shopping mall near you. IF so see if mom will bring you and a friend there to spend a Saturday.
As I said I don't remember you problem, if it cannot wait until next Saturday you can also call 911. Paramedics will be sent to you. Once again if you are over 14 and the problem is one concerning your reproductive system the paramedics will transport you to the local hospital even over moms objection should she be there. All you need to say is "I invoke my rights under HIPPA.
I hope this is helpful if not please write back with more information on your problem.
