ok, no judging. You should have no trouble telling your doctor that you are having sex because of a little thing called HIPPA. This is a law that protects your privacy. Your doctor CAN NOT tell anyone (except anyone involved in your care, i.e., nurses, X-ray, techs, etc.) especially your parents. He can't even tell them if you are pregnant. Even if you are only 10 years old. it is the law and telling your doctor everything concerning your care is sometimes vital in diagnosing your illness. So, plaese trust in the medical field and no one outside your care provider will know anything. Doctor/ patient privlidge.

Calm down hun although there may be opinions and stats there is no age level for sex and if there were people have been breaking it for century's. the only reason all these people think it's important to wait for sex is because it is SO SO SO dangerous if you don't serously take percutions if you r and u use protection people will respect that and you at any age!
As for the doctor yes they can tell. but don't worry there is patient confidentiality maening they can'y share your info with out your consent.
i strongly reccomend going to a teen clinic they wont judge you really ive been through it, also they inform you about things you need to know, it MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD TO HAVE SOME THERE. they can take care your yeast infec. too. goodluck

girl u dont even have to worry. if u get a yeast infection u would know immediatly and few symtoms are feelin dry down there, you get white smelly discharge and you start itchin non stop. if u have none of these stop worryin. if one day u notice one of those than go to the doctor. it dont always come from sex but u should b careful because when guys have it u can not tell and it can b transmitted tru sex. so bcareful always

nothing wrong in seeing a Dr sex issue have confidentiality so do not worry from what the Doctor will know this is not the case the case is to be sure you are OK and have healthy sexual life and by the way sooner or later if you have sex you will need to see doctor.

Women or girls who are sexually active can get various infections. Yes your doctor would know on an examination that u are sexually active. If u find u have some kind of infection speak with ur local chemist they will advise u what to purchase. But i strongly advise u use some kind of protection to avoid any transmitted infections. Wish you the best of luck and be cautious and protect urself

No, the doctor can't tell that you've been having sex.....but I think he' smart enough to figure it out. Using condoms would greatly reduce yeast infections, and making sure you and your boyfriend are clean (as in shower regularly) would also help. Infections can also occur if he plays around your butt and then contaminates the vaginal area.

Sweetie...Drs have a confidentiality clause. This means that they are not allowed to talk about there cases. I dont know how old you are...but...go and find out what is going on with you ..As long as you are having sex you need to be seen. Maybe go to a Family Planning Clinic....hope this helps...take care of yourself...

Read The Yeast Connection by William Crook. It should answer all your questions and offers good advice.

YES the doctor WILL know if you have had sex.....just go in and get checked. He can't do anything except tell you to be more careful when having sex and inform you on what precautions to take.

He may or may not know that you are a virgin. He won't know if you are currently having sex. I think they just use a swab for yeast infection checking .. so I don't think he'd know anything at all. Good Luck! :)
