Do doctors check if a girl is a virgin at a certain age?

Girls at my school have been telling me that when I hit 15 they start to check if I'm a virgin. Is this true? And if they did, would they tell my parents I'm not a virgin, or could I tell them not to say anything?

    No, there is no reason for a doctor to check you there, unless you are there for a pelvic exam or Pap test.

    There are also other reasons for a girl to appear not to be a virgin, as the hymen can be broken in many ways, so the doctor wouldn't say anything anyway.

    Doctors are bound by an oath not to tell anyone about your medical conditions, unless you're a minor and it's very serious or life-threatening.

    Secondly it's impossible for anyone to tell if you're a virgin just from examining your vagina. Some cultures still hold on to a Stone Age belief that a woman without a hymen isn't a virgin, but if medical doctors in your country believe myths like that then you don't have much hope of convincing them to do anything.

    The idea of telling if someone is a virgin goes back to the days when women didn't engage in physical activities, didn't masturbate, and got married and raped when they were 10. These days there's no way a doctor can tell if you're a virgin or not.
