Have To Take Up The Birth Control Shot. Advised To Be Accompanied By Another Person. Is It Really Required?
Hello, My name is Brianne I have an appointment tomorrow to receive my second birth control shot. My mom has to work so I was going to take myself but, they said that my parent or an adult who can sign for me had to be there. I'm 17 so I was wondering can't I go by myself without a parent because under consent and confidentiality laws I didn't even have to tell my mother. So can you help me figure this out.
Usually in some countries a person can give consent for contraceptive purposes only after 18 years. Possibly because of that your doctor or hospital people might have told like that. So better to take your mother along with you as per the rules. Ans also it will be good if some body accompanies you because sometimes side effects can occur to shots. If your mother is busy you can take help of some other family member. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429 Take care.

Hi Brianne, Thanks for the query. Usually in some countries a person can give consent for contraceptive purposes only after 18 years. Possibly because of that your doctor or hospital people might have told like that. So better to take your mother along with you as per the rules. Ans also it will be good if some body accompanies you because sometimes side effects can occur to shots. If your mother is busy you can take help of some other family member.
