if you have sex (and your a girl) and you have a physical. you know what the look down there so see if everything is alright. can see tell just from looking that you have had sex? and how
karenR answered Monday April 18 2005, 4:17 pm: She may suspect but can't know for sure. She will ask you about it as she would any girl your age. Doesn't mean she knows anything. Doctors do have to keep your talks with them confidential. So if you have any questions about sex this is a good time to ask them. Make mom wait in waiting room and ask away. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Daisy answered Monday April 18 2005, 5:26 am: They will not be able to tell if you have had sex. Everyone keeps saying they can tell because your hymen will have broken - well if you use tampons your hymen will have already broken. Your hymen can break just by going horse-back riding! Don't worry! [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

If you have an internal examination by your gyneacologist, they would be able to tell if your hymen is still in tact. Your hymen often breaks when you have sex, so they might guess you were sexually active from that, but many women break their hymens long before they have sex in normal active childhood activity, and so your doctor won't jump to any conclusions even if an internal examination does show that your hymen is broken.
Don't worry though - the doctor isn't really interested in whether you have had sex or not beyond caring about how this can affect your health so they won't particuarly be looking for signs of sexual activity when they examine you. In any case, anything your Doctor discovers or talks to you about is confidential, so, though you might feel a bit embarassed that somebody knows you are sexually active, there's no need to worry that your Doctor will be indiscreet and tell people you don't want knowing, such as your parents.

I don't know what kind of physicals you get! Haha, my doctors don't do that to me! But if yours do, they can't tell just from looking real quick. Don't worry. Go for it ;] I wish you the best of luck!

cailoisa answered Sunday April 17 2005, 2:44 pm: If you get a pap smear your doctor will definately know. Your hymen was broken when you had sex. For those who haven't broken it, it is a visibly noticable white-ish "skin".
Karen answered Sunday April 17 2005, 11:08 am: Well, if you get a physical from your regular doctor, then they shouldn't look at your genitals but if you get a physical from a gynecologist, then yes, they can tell if you have had sex. When you have sex for the first time, usually, your hymen will break (or your cherry will pop) and they will assume that you have had sex. But you can always tear your hymen by doing other things too such as inserting a tampon in wrong, riding a bike, sitting wrong, and so on. But if you have sex and you were stretched out, then the gynecologist will know you have had sex. If they ask you, then you should tell them and they won't tell your parents without your permission.
