if a female is a virgin and she went to the doctor, could the doctor do a test on her to tell she had sex? what kind of tests are there to find out?

The hymen is that little flap of skin just inside the vagina canal that will be broken the first time a woman is penetrated by anything....but a lot of girls break it in gym class or riding a horse or something, so it's not a reliable test....there is no other test.

No it is not possible.
A lot of answers so far mention the hymen, this is a thin layer of skin that surrounds the opening to the vagina, you can see this yourself if you look at your vulva (external part of your genitals).
Not all females have a hymen to begin with and the hymen can be broken by a lot of things other than sex such as from penetration during masturbation or from active lifestyles, the hymen can also be stretched during penetrative sex rather than broken.
The hymen is not in any way an accurate way to tell if a female is a virgin or not - that is a long outdated myth.
There is no way for a doctor to tell if a female has had sex unless she specifically tells him/her that she has had sex, or unless she has fallen pregnant, which most of the time is a result of sexual intercourse.

Sure, a vaginal exam will tell if her hymen was broken. In some women though, there is no bleeding but docs can tell if the hymen was broken just by looking at it. It is the small muscle fiber that holds the vagina tight and closed until intercourse.

if the hymen is intact, it's a good indication that a female
has not had sexual relationals (at least penetration), but
it isn't guaranteed. Females can lose/break their hymen
with bicycle seats, horse saddles and many other ways,
so ;this isn't a true indication. -- It all comes down to trust
and communication.

Yeah, but a doctor couldn't just look 'inside ypu' and see whether your hymen was broken or not - they'd have to do proper tests and scans

It is highly unlikely...there are many things other than sex that can break your hymen. I wouldnt worry
