What are the gynecologist laws in illinois? 10 points best answer?

Question

Alright, I think my mom might be taking me to the gynecologist soon. I have not told my mom that I'm having s*x. I'm sure that my gynecologist would know if she looked down there, but is she allowed to tell my mom? What is she allowed to tell her?

I give 10 points for best answer.

Answer 1

I have done the research and I myself have been in the same situation. They can not tell your parents that you have had s*x. They can tell them if you are pregnant, but not that you are having s*x. When I went for the first time my mom brought me and I was so scared that they'd tell her, but they didn't and im so sure they can't my mom never found out and the gynecologist even knew I've had s*x she said it to me. I'm sure you'll be fine! Don't worry!  :)

Answer 2

She can't tell if you are and she can't tell your mom

wtf 2 thumbs downs?

Answer 3

A doctor can't tell your mom. A doctor also can't tell if you are a virgin from just from looking unless you have had s*x in the past few hours and there was... evidence. Your hymen can break from... falling down on your bike, or using a tampon, etc.

You should be honest with the doctor about your sexual activity though. They can secretly put you on birth control and give you condoms without telling your mom.

Answer 4

i'm not sure but i know at planned parenthood they cannot. they will even fib when calling your house for you and say their your friend julie or something. i'm not sure about gynecologist, i believe all your mom will want is an annual check up. and your gynecologist will do just that. also ask your mom if you can speak to the dr alone. you feel more responislbe or something.

good luck.

also as a minor the dr can tell your mom. if you are under 18 your mother is responsible for you, she will be the one paying your bill, same things apply at a hospital visit. if you are over 18 or are at a planned parenthood they cannot release that information.

Answer 5

The doctor can tell when she does an exam if your sexually active. Plus when you fill out the information for your visit it asks if your sexual active and how often and you have to be truthful, the doctor cannot tell your mom, but you should tell her

Answer 6

No, she's not allowed to tell her.

It's Physician/Patient confidence.

(she can ONLY tell her if you give her a signed consent. - even if you ARE a minor.)

Your 'area' is your business.

(that's why places like Planned Parenthood WILL give you birth control and condoms without parental consent.)

She CAN tell her if you have an infection (not necessarily an STD) .. but she can tell her if you have an infection 'down there.' IF you need an antibiotic- Because a Doctor cannot prescribe you an antibiotic (or any medication!) without your parents knowing .. *but* she can't tell her what the 'infection' is. She can say, it's a 'bacterial infection' or 'yeast infection' which does NOT mean it's from having s*x.

She CANNOT tell your Mother that you are having s*x.

Answer 7

i think they only way they can tell your mom is if your pregnant or have a life threatning condition

Answer 8

No she is not that is confidential but i think u should tell ur mom because she will find out sooner or later

Answer 9

There's no way that she could know for sure that you're not a virgin unless you tell her. She can't tell  your mother anyway. Don't be tempted to tell her that you're still a virgin though. She needs to know if you're not. If your mother is taking you there without a medical reason, she may suspect that you're having s*x. Usually a girl doesn't have to go to the gynecologist unless she's 18 or already sexually active.

Answer 10

It is called : Physician/Patient confidence.But if your a minor she can tell things that are a concern to an adult parent,like if you have and STD or are pregnant, or she suspects  you   have been raped.
