If you're sexually active does your doctor have to check down there?

Question

I am very uncomfortable with my doctor even seeing down there. I don't want her to at all. And I don't want my mom to know I'm sexually active I just don't know what to do

Answer

If you're sexually active, you need to tell your doctor. Your doctor has to keep what you tell her private, it's federal law. She may recommend you see a gynecologist for an annual pelvic exam.

Answer

Yep sorry girl you need to get looked at for sure. It's not bad get used to it you'll need it every year. For a long ass time.

Answer

It isn't bad, I'm pregnant though so I don't remember what it's like 😏 
I knowpaps suck but it's better to get done rather than to end up with stds. Just saying! Rather be safe than sorry!

Answer

Didn't you say you were pregnant?

Anyhow, you need to get a pap smear. Std/sti and cancer screening is important.

Answer

Your doctor cannot reveal your sexual activity to your parents. If you aren't comfortable with your dr get a new one. You need to take care of yourself and that includes all your parts.

Answer

You should start going to the gyno when you turn 18 or when you become sexually active it's just the way it is you get used to it I'm not even bothered any more

Answer

If you have been sexually active for more then a year then yes you have to see her

Answer

Plus it's a common routine to check for HPV and other vaginal / pelvic exams. Also they have to give you informed choice about family planing options.

Answer

Find a doctor you can be comfortable with, make appointments with a few different ones and see who clicks with you. No one enjoys it, but it is important. I'm always joking with mine about owing me dinner and flowers at least! Lmao!
