Your daughter or the doctor may want you there for part of the visit to answer questions about her health history. However, your daughter should be alone with the doctor for at least part of the visit. Some young women are more open to discussing sexual or other bodily concerns without their parents present. Your doctor won’t share private details about your daughter with you or anyone else without her permission. However, there are some limits to privacy. If a child discloses physical or sexual abuse or plans to harm themselves, doctors must share this with others who can help. Doctors may also need to share certain details with their health insurance or public health authority. This can include sexually transmitted disease status. Your daughter can ask her gynecologist about their privacy rules. She can ask the doctor to explain what they will keep private and what they might share.
