What to Do After Sexual Abuse During Surgery

Answered 16 September 2026 at 3:56 am PKT

This page explains what to do if you believe a doctor or hospital staff touched you sexually or tried to rape you during surgery, including while you were under anesthesia. It covers urgent medical care, preserving possible evidence, reporting options in Pakistan, and support for fear or depression.

I was molested by doctor during my surgery. I belive after giving me anesthesia he did try to rape me. I have no solid evidence but I did feel him touch my private parts. I am so scared and depressed

I am so sorry this happened to you. What you felt and remember matters, and you deserve to be believed and supported. A doctor touching your private parts without your consent is not normal, not acceptable, and it is not your fault. You do not need solid evidence to deserve care.

For now, do not contact or meet that doctor alone. If possible, stay near a trusted person who will listen and remain with you. You do not have to decide anything about reporting today.

If you want medical support, you can speak privately with a different qualified health professional and ask for someone you trust to be present. You can also talk to someone in confidence through the support options listed on this page. If you feel unable to stay safe or might hurt yourself, tell the trusted person with you now and ask them to stay close while you get urgent help.

Names and cities shown here are examples. Every question is published anonymously — we never ask for, store or show the name, city or contact details of the person who wrote it.

🆘 If you're in crisis right now

You deserve real support this moment. These lines are free, confidential, and trained to help. In immediate danger, call emergency services — 🇵🇰 1122.
