It depends on what you mean. I'm assuming you mean some doctor has acted inappropriately toward you. You have a couple of options.
If the doctor works for a hospital or clinic, you can report the doctor to the hospital director or the doctor's supervisor.
If the doctor works for him or herself, you have fewer options, but if what the doctor did is criminal, you can file a complaint with the AMA (if you are in the USA) or the corresponding organization if you are in another country, or to the police or other appropriate authority.

Well, I would do as you mother asked and have her go with you so she can learn about how you feel too. Its not a big deal that you like to wear woman's clothing, its just that our narrow minded society, including your mother, dont accept it as the "norm" If your a good person and have a good heart I say wear whatever clothes you want. Your mom will see that you dont have a mental disorder that a phychiatrist can solve, it is something you feel naturally from within and you are you. Good Luck and remember comfort is everything....

What does a soap and water enema do physiologically to relieve constipation?
In normal intestinal function, the body pulls in fluids into the small intestines so the contents in that section becomes like mush. (A consistency like mashed up soup, or putting soup through a blender. But the body cannot permit all that fluid to stay, or every human would have constant diarrhea.
So when the mush reaches the large intestines, it must shuttle the fluid portion to the kidneys to filter. This comes out when we urinate. But the body must keep a balance in how much fluid it pushes to the kidneys, and how much it leaves in the large intestines. With the right balance, the mush changes to more firm stool, but soft because it has the right amount of fluid in it.
But lots of things can disrupt this balance. Most people do not drink enough water and fluids. We don't eat enough fiber or roughage, like vegetables. Fiber and roughage attracts more fluids in the intestines, so without it, when the body takes fluid from the large intestines, it makes stool harder and causes constipation. Also, not going to the bathroom to excrete stool on a regular basis (several times a week) means the body will continue to remove fluids and compact the stool.
All enemas, but especially soap and water enemas, cause the cells to move more fluids into the large intestine. This begins to soften the outer edge of the formed stool, to make it easier to pass or excrete. However, using any enema too frequently can cause the intestines to stop using their usual transport of fluids into and out of the intestines. A person could begin to have more frequent cramping, gas, and alternating diarrhea and hard stool. So it is important to ask your doctor how often you can use an enema. Also, it is absolutely essential to know how much soap to mix with the water, to prevent negative side effects.
Why would anyone want to be a proctologist?
It might not be something you or I want as a career, but proctologists do save lives. Colon cancer is a serious disease, and early detection is crucial; there are also other diseases that affect the colon, and testing can reveal these diseases at an early enough stage, so that the person can make a full recovery. In our culture (and in many others), bodily functions like urination and defecation are often regarded with disgust or scorn, but doctors know these functions serve a crucial purpose, and if the body cannot eliminate waste properly, serious illness results.
Thus, proctologists are men and women who choose a specialty that is very necessary to human health. You and I may find the study of bodily functions kind of unpleasant, but doctors and researchers know such study is important, so they are able to set aside any personal discomfort and treat the colon as just one more part of the body that needs to be healthy.
