Are You Unsure if You Were Sexually Abused?

Are You Unsure if You Were Sexually Abused?

Not every out-of-the-ordinary or uncomfortable interaction with a doctor rises to the level of sexual abuse. Certain examinations, for instance, can by nature be uncomfortable but are deemed to be medically necessary. Still, you shouldn’t ignore your gut instincts if something doesn’t seem right or starts to cross a line.

The following list will help you ascertain if sex abuse from a medical professional happened to you.

Sexual Abuse Behaviors

  • Lingering touches
  • Refusal to allow family/friend/nurse in the room
  • Refusal to answer questions on what they’re doing
  • Overtly or intrusive sexual questions/comments
  • Asking patient for a date
  • Telling the patient no one will believe you
  • Threats to keep the patient quiet
  • Unnecessary vaginal exams
  • Unnecessary/ungloved rectal exams
  • Inappropriate use of medical instruments
  • Inappropriate/sexualized touching
  • Masturbating the patient
  • Masturbation in front of the patient
  • Asking for sexual favors
  • Rape
  • Sodomy
