Planned Parenthood will do Gyno exams and you dont need a parent!. You shouldn't have to have a parent to just go to a regular Gyno either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should be able to access a GP or Gynecologist without parental supervision or another person!.
Depending what you are going in for, your parents have the right to know what medicines / treatments the doctors prescribe for you, however this is different in every country or state!. (i dont know where you are from)
In Australia, you can go to a doctor by yourself from the age of 16 and the doctor has patient confidentiality with you and cannot tell your parents or anyone else, anything about your medical conditions without your consent!.
Im not sure how it works in other places!. I think America is pretty conservative in some states!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
