What CAN my GYN tell?
What CAN my GYN tell?
I'm 15 and I started seeing my gyno about a year ago. I always get the question "are you sexually active?" and it's always been "no" up until recently. I'm still a virgin but have participated in oral and manual sex. I know this is considered to be sexually active, but I haven't told my mom yet. If I tell my gyno that I'm sexually active, can she tell my mom? I would rather my mom find out from me, not my gyno. Is she required to tell? Is she required not to tell??

Re: What CAN my GYN tell?
Hi candyhndy,
No, what happens in conversation between you and your gyno should not get back to your mom, as it is confidential between you two.
Do you feel you want to discuss what's going on with your mom, or just with your doctor for now?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
