I have a (suposivly common) Problem with my ovaries in which pin head size cysts on them cause irregular periods. I havent gotten my period in nearly 6 months. I had several MRI's done, and i saw a OB/GYN. Next week, I am going to a specialist at the hospital to consult about the problem, but I'm scared that they will give me an exam, and if they do, they will find out that I am no longer a virgin like my mom thinks! I'm incredibly scared, especially because my mom would killll mee if she found out. I regularly engage in sexual intercourse, and I'm afriad that if she knows, my trust will be ruined, and all hell wil break loose. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

SullysGirl answered Monday October 11 2004, 7:20 pm: If you are under the age of 18, they can tell your mother that they think you may be sexually active, running and bike riding can affect your hymen, but if you aren't in any knid of sports or anything, and they tell your mother, she will know, it is best to tell her yourself, then someone else tell her, by you telling her, she won't be as upset as if someone else told her. mothers cherish thier daughters, and they would rather hear it from you, it make them feel like you have a good close relationship. it will be better if you tell her, trust me, i didn't tell my mother and she was devastated when she found out i was pregnant, and told me that she wished i would have told her, then she might have been able to protect me from having my girls at such a young age. But i wouldn't give them up for anything, i love my girls, i was just too young, and i wish i would have had them later. [ SullysGirl's advice column | Ask SullysGirl A Question ]

Lol, i really really hope i helped and hope everything wokrs out fine!! Get better adn good luck!!! also, let me knwo how things worked out!

MoonFisher answered Saturday October 9 2004, 9:24 pm: They can not tell if you are a virgin or not. The hymen, which is the indicator of "virginity" is not usually intact on women these days because we are so physically active. Running, riding a bike, horseback riding, all contribute to wearing down your hymen. If you are to get an exam, you should ask your mother to leave the room because you aren't comfortable with her seeing your yaya. They aren't going to say OMG YOU AREN'T A VIRGIN, they are very discreet. Good luck with your cysts. I have read that they are caused by eggs that did not develop properly. Is that what you have?

alisonmarie answered Saturday October 9 2004, 6:07 pm: First of all, your doctor will not tell you mother anything. Your doctor will probably not even be able to tell if you are virgin, but it is very important that you let him or her know the truth.
Their job is not to judge you, but to make the best diagnosis and provide care depending on your medical history, which includes sexual activity.
So. Be honest with the doctor, who will not tell you mother about sex, and then pay attention to the medical side of things. You are within your rights to ask your doctor what information will or will not be provided to your mother. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

Laura answered Thursday October 7 2004, 6:22 pm: Don't worry. It's confidential. You could ask your doctor not to share information with your mom, if you're over like 16 or 18, they won't. It's not a big deal.
