If you're seeing an obstetrician (OB doctor) logic dictates that you're pregnant and the doctor won't have to tell your parents because time will.

(If you mean an Ob/Gyn,and you are seeing the doctor in their capacity as gynecologist, of course then it does not necessarily follow that you are pregnant.)

Depending on your age and what state you live in, most likely the doctor is not allowed to tell your parents whether you are sexually active. This is to promote trust between patient and doctor, without which useful medical care is unlikely.

If in doubt of local laws, call the doctor's office and ask what their policy is. If you are worried about anonymity, you might either call a different doctor's office to ask or look up the number of a local Planned Parenthood clinic and ask them.

I need help my mom and dad think im not a virgin and they want to take me to the doctors and check if im a virgin or not and im scared because im not a virgin and if they find out they will kill me?

1) A doctor cannot tell for sure if you are a virgin or not. It is possible to have sex without tearing the hymen (I assume you are a girl), and it is also possible to tear the hymen without having sex.2) Your doctor is legal bound by Doctor-Patient Confidentiality, which means that they legally cannot tell your parents, even if you tell your doctor that you are not a virgin.3) Your doctor will likely ask whether or not are sexually active any time you go in for a check up. This is for your own well-being, as if you are sexually active they may test you for Sexually Transmitted Infections and/or give you a pelvic exam and pap smear (which tests for cervical cancer). If your doctor asks, you should answer them honestly, as these tests are important to your health.


Can a doctor tell if you have been sexually active and how long for?

what does he do to your vagina to see if you are sexually activeMany women do not have hymens fully intact because of the many sports and other physical activities that we do as we grow up (and using tampons) so no, a doctor cannot tell if you are sexually active. If he did a PAP or a urinalysis or looked at a vaginal discharge under his microscope, he could have found sperm which would be an obvious sign of sexual activity. Also, it is possible that based on your questions, or why you came to see the doctor, he/she may have guessed that you were sexually active. After seeing thousands of women, a good doctor develops a sixth sense for these things. For example, you can often tell if a woman has ever had sex, or if she has been sexually abused by the way she reacts during the PAP and pelvic.

You just became sexually active and your period is late this month but your periods are irregular anyway are you pregnant?

If your periods are irregular anyway then there is no way to tell, I advise you to see whether you have a period next month, if not then go and see a doctor for a pregnancy test. If you have only recently become sexually active then you should be using protection anyway.
