When you go to the Gynocologist...?!


Question: do you HAVE to tell them how many sexual partners you've had? Is it wrong to fib? Could they EVER find out? It's not like I've had a lot, I can still count my partners on one hand, but I'm wondering. Do we really need to tell them about each person?

You should tell them, they will be able to help you more if u are honest, you said u can count ur partners on one hand, thats great! they would have heard alot worse trust me

I would be completely honest with them for your own sake. Just tell them how many you've had, and let them know if you've been safe or not, no need to go into extreme detail (unless they ask, for some reason...)

Yes, it's very impotant. Don't think that I'm kidding when I say that your life hangs in the balence. Grow up and stop lying to your physicians.

Yeah?

No. They don't ask so you don't have to tell. The most you have to say is A) I'm sexually active. or B) I'm not sexually active.

No I don't guess you have to, really is none of their business unless they test you for an STD and are wanting to know how many people you have exposed. There is no way they can tell how many partners you have had though, not like they are going to hook you up to a polygraph or anything.

NO, you don't HAVE to. BUT it's best if you tell them (one thing for sure they will NOT tell your Mom!!!). The more you had sex, the more the chances you caught something nasty.

It's kind of like counting the rings on the inside of tree to see how old it is, they can tell either way.

Hey, its your health.. up to you if you want to mess with it. They're doctors, not there to judge.. besides I'm sure they've seen worse.

They wont judge you so be honest. Trust me, I'm sure they've seen and heard everything!!! It will give them the best idea of your history.

Just tell them, there a doctor in pussyology.

Though, I think you can keep personal information personal. Unless it's urgent and like your growing like Green Fungus or something.

wts a gynocologist?? and y would u tell ur doctor if dats wt it is that!!!???

They can't tell, keep it to yourself unless your told you have an infectious disease.

You should go either when you turn 18 or when you become sexually active.

It is VERY important that you are open and honest about your partners because they can help you get treated and your partners. They tell your partners to come in for a check up if you come up with something. So EXPECIALLY if you have an STD ( Not saying you do) you should speak.

You should be honest with your doctor for the sake of your own health. Trust me, they have heard things from patients that you can't even imagine.

no you don't they will just ask you if you are sexually active and if you have 1 partner at the time or if you aren't committed to just one.
if you have ever been before and you wind up with an std it's allways nice to be able to figure out who it came from so you can tell them to go to a doctor too... just personal experience
trust me if you aren't with 1 person in particular and even if you are please get tested and make sure you know the results of their tests before you ever think about not using a condom

If you choose not to tell them anything thats fine but its always much more helpful by letting them know whats really up. The fact you can still count on one hand is really good.

I really don't think that they are going to judge you anyway by you telling them the truth. Being a gynecologist, they are there to help you, not criticize you. There is privacy laws and what is between you and the doctor is no one's business.

I've never had my doctor ask me how many. That would be highly unusual. I've only had them ask if I was sexually active, and if I was planning to have kids soon. Those are usually the only details they really need. The number isn't really relevant to the exam itself, although I can see it being an issue if someone has multiple partners and does not practice safe sex. If you're safe, there really isn't a whole lot to be worried about.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your doctor is there to make sure that you are healthy, not to judge you. And if they do... find one that treats you with more respect.

I've been to the gynecologist about 40 times, and I've never been asked "how many"?

The question might legitimately come up if you are diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Otherwise I can't see why the gynecologist would care.
