    No,there is patient/doctor confidentially..

    At 18 you're an adult.

    A doctor can't tell your parents if you are younger either. It is called patient confidentiality.

    I think what they can or can't do may be dicated by the local laws in various countries.

    In most western countries there is confidentiality betweent he Doctor and patient. I don't know how universal that is internationally.
