A member asked:

Can you have a doctor tear your hymen for you without a parent being in the room? even when that parent agrees?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This should be a question to the health provider about their specific office protocol.In theory, such a procedure might be done in the office with a non parent chaperone present, this might be the office nurse. Some would do the procedure in a day surgery center, with several staff, depending on the extent of the procedure needed.
