My doctor asked me how many yrs i'm married for...can there be a hidden question in it?

i'm a 23 yr old woman. recently i was in the hospital for some gyn problem. the doctor had asked me how many yrs i've been married. i told her 2 yrs. now my friend told me today that that question may have had a hidden question...like for how many yrs i've been sexually active or for how many yrs i've been on birth control. can it be? if so i've really given a wrong answer for i've been sexually active for some yrs before i got married and the same goes for birth control. should i tell my doctor so? will it make a difference? can my friend's assumption be true at all? please do answer.......

We often ask questions that have many 'hidden' meanings or ask things that you think "What are they on about?" when it means a lot to us.

The question would have been refered to that this man, your husband, is your constant sexual partner. Does that make sense?
No other partner, affairs or swaping so therefore no 'red lights' for us to assess for STD's or such.
Other questions would have been related around that to ascertain any additional risks to your health.

If she wanted to know how long you have been sexually active or on birth control, she would have asked that in a plain question. But the question your are now questioning is a nice, around-the-way, of asking about your sex life.
So telling her now would make no difference to your treatment as she may have already found out without you knowing in 'trick' questions.
It's all designed to make you comfortable and therefore more open with us.

If you ever think that something is important to tell them or correct ALWAYS do as we can misconstrue answers too. That's why we ask weird question, often in different ways.

So your friend is right.
