No.
They may ask if you are sexually active, but they can't tell by just looking at you. I would tell them the truth though.

no. They may ask you if you are sexually active, and all information you give will be kept confidential. It is best if you tell the doctor everything, because he is better able to do his job with all the information.
Besides, when you work in medicine long enough you can tell when people are full of it, so once you reach a certain age he can just assume you most likely are anyway.

The doc cannot tell if you are virgin. Just because you don't have a hymen doesn't mean you aren't a virgin as the hymen can get broken with sports or other things. They do not check for pregnancy unless they suspect it or you ask to be checked.

As a doctor they may be able to tell if your a virgin or not but they arent necessarelly going to check to find out, its irrelevant to your exam. As far as pregnancy goes, im sure they could tell depending on how far along you are, if you just found out your pregnant or arent even sure if you are yet I dont think they can tell the difference without doing a urine or blood test.

Not unless the exam is a pelvic. There is no foolproof way of telling whether you're a virgin, even if the hymen is broken, because sex is not the only way this can happen. Usually, a doctor can tell if you're pregnant, though, from the exam.

No, they may ask if you’re sexually active or not. And I agreed with troy that you should tell them everything because all information gathered in physical examination aids in determining the correct diagnosis and devising the treatment plan. This data then becomes part of your medical record.

They may ask you if you are sexually active. If you answer yes a pregnancy test may be preformed. But no, they usually do not check to see if you are a virgin.

They do ask if you are sexually active and can tell wether you are or not. But that is not what they are looking for. They need to no if you are having sex so they no what to test for. Like STDs , infections that are related to sex. And they do check for pregnancy as well another reason they need to no about your sexual activity.

no especially if you have only been physically active a few times to 'check' if your virgin they would have to see if your hymen is in tact and to do this they would often break it so technically u wouldnt be a virgin which is crap because u can break it riding a bik or a horse or using tampons!

only if you are pregnant. and if you are pregnant, then you are no longer a virgin but really, unless you are going to join an odd sect of virgin nuns or somethings, they don't check for virginity.
