I have asked this before on here but that was a long time ago. I havent been to the urologist since.
Ok so tomorrow i will be going to my urologist for a checkup on a condition i had. I go every 6 months. He usually just checks me to make sure whatever i had didn't come back.
Well i wanted some peoples advice on whether or not i should ask the doctor this question which is unrelated to why i go their in the first place. I have basically suffered from premature ejaculation my entire life and its extremely bad. Should i ask my doctor about this? I don't want him telling my mom because its embarrassing. And i mean come on, it has to do with me ejaculating. If i do tell the doctor, will he have to tell my mom? I don't know what to do and i have to go their tomorrow. I am tired of having this problem and it stresses me out everyday.

You should have doctor-patient confidentiality, but if he does tell your mom stuff, ask him if he could not tell her about the PE.

Im pretty sure doctors are supposed to keep things secret if you dont want anyone knowing but i wasnt sure. What if my mom has to know in order to help cure it.

How can your mum help you stop suffering from PE?

The easiest way recommended to stop this problem is practicing the stop and go method, google it. If the problem is so bad, it would require an operation to remove some of the nerves in the penis, and I dont think you would want to take that painful operation!

It wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about it since you're going to be there anyway...especially if it's starting to stress you out. If you ask him not to tell your mom he won't. Unless it's a life threatening emergency that would require the consent of your parent he can't say anything if you tell him/her not to. Besides...he'll probably tell you to try some different exercises with with breathing or stroking. I don't think there's pills for PE. At the very most he could recommend a cream that reduces the sensitivity of your penis.

Well to be honest what age are you?

Anyway P.E can be easily solved when about to preform sexual intercourse. If you wear a condom then it is possible to lace the condom with a local anesthetic to numb your penis. Why this can take away your own pleasure it has been proven to work and help stop P.E.

If you wanted talk to your doc. But he might suggest the same thing. I remember watching a program called "the joy of teen sex" and this is what one of the health doctors suggested to a boy who suffers from PE.

Your doc should keep quiet about it. However if you are underage then anything he gives you will have to go through your mum for prescription purposes.

Also your doc might have to run tests to see if it is a complaint or an actual problem because many complain about PE, who don't actually has the condition.

Hope this helped

As many people said,m the doctor isn't allowed to tell about it to your mom, so you MUST ask about it and not worry that your mom will know.
After all it's your health, it's important at the first place, and you should take care about it :)
Good luck.

You can ask, or not, up to you. As said there is the whole doctor-patient confidentiality thing, which means he shouldnt tell anyone. You can read up on the concept here (http://healthcare.uslegal.com/doctor-patient-confidentiality/).

You should tell the doctor, and doctors will only tell your parents about something like that if its absolutely neccessary.

I believe in the US if you are under 16 and a condition threatens your health he is legally obligated to tell. If it is a simple problem than no he isn't.

It might depend how old you are, if it's serious he will probably have to tell your mom, but if it's a slight problem then he might not have to, but I think you should ask him, just to make sure.

GO!
It's private, it has nothing to do with your mum, he is YOUR doctor, not hers
we need to trust our doctors, they want to help us,
