Intercourse prior to pelvic exam

Is it possible for the doctor to know that I have had recent intercourse when I go for a pelvic exam? I remember several years ago i had an appointment for my yearly exam. My boyfriend of the time had been out of town for a month and returned home the day before my exam . We had sex several time that day and night. I got worried when I was driving to my exam that the doctor might see the results of our evening. I would have changed my appointment but it takes about 2 months to get in to see him. He never said anything but I was very concerned and embarrassed that there might be semen left over. I showered and was very clean for my exam, but it was a very embarrassing situation.

Did I need to be worried?

Thanks!

I heard that it might interfere with the pap smear test result?

Semen can, and does remain in the vagina for days after sex. I know here in the UK women are recommended not to have sex for at least 24 hours prior to a cervical smear test as it can interfere with the sample, as said above.

From a forensic point of view semen, and hence DNA can be collected from rape victims days after an attack.

Yes a gynecologist can perfectly see if you've had sexual intercourse the day before your gynecological exam, but you don't have to woory about that, sex is a normal and healthy component of life such as eating and drinking , no moral guilt about that is part of their job

In case of problems with the fertility, it even is one of the possible ways to determine if semen survives around the cervix. One hour before the exam takes place there have to be intercourse. The woman is not allowed to shower before the exam takes place. A rather humiliating examination.

I am sure even when the man is wearing condoms during the love making that there are still going to be some tell-tale signs of intercourse.

My former partner did not want to have intercourse the night before her gyn appointment. She was afraid her doctor would find "something". On the other hand most seminal fluid would be gone during the night anyway. DNA is not standard part of the pelvic exam. I mean that your doctor will not necesserily find out what he is not looking for.

Ive never thought about it before. I know there have times when i had intercourse just before i left for my exam. The doctor never said anything to me about it so i guess he has seen it before and it doesnt really matter

When I have made appointments for my annual gynecological exam, the nurse has always said not to have intercourse the night before. I assume like others have already posted, that it would interfere with the PAP smear test.

I have always heard that to be on the safe side, not to have intercourse 48 hours prior to your exam.

I have always made it a rule not to have sex at least 24 hours before my visit to the gynecologist. It usually requires sex right after however along with a detailed description of how I spent the time in that "little room up on one of those exam tables". I almost always need a second procedure from my husband as he has difficulty hanging on for very long after I describe getting in the stirrups for my pelvic exam

Sometimes I throw my "erotic exam patients" for a loop by saying to them that I am not sure what this strange mucousy stuff is...and ask if " you recently had intercourse".

Hmm, no sex because your going to the doctor? Good thing youre not going to the dentist too! 😘

My wife wont let me go near her around that time

My wife won't let me in for 46 hours before she goes to the ob/gyn

We did an exam on an A/A female in a public clinic a long time ago... when they put the speculum in, out poured a gallon of semen mixed with vaginal fluids... when she was asked why so much stuff in there, she openly stated she had just gotten pummeled by her boyfriend immediately prior to the examination.... what a delight!

My ex would not abide by my prohibition against sex the night before my exam so he heard from a friend to "just use a condom". After that it was "how about one in the morning too baby."

My wife went into the hospital when she was pregnant because she thought she may be leaking. The after the sterile speculum exam, the nurse came in and asked "have you two had intercourse lately?" We both looked embarrassed and nodded yes. She said "The only fluid we found was semen." 😳

Surely you can have sex before just use a condom thats what they are meant for .

and it is naturel to have sex.

the only reason i would think your told not to have sex the night before is so that your muscles are contracted to the normal position .

but otherwise i cant see a problem with it . they dont say anything bout it here in the uk .

I have been married twice and had a long "live-in" relationship before the first marrage. The first girfriend hated her exams and would not have sex before or after them. Both wifes had no strong feelings either way. I have had some great sex with my present wife after some of her exams.

Several years ago during one of my earlier play exams the married 'patient' was lying with her legs open and the speculum was ready in my hand. At that point she confessed to me that she had been 'at it' with her lover the previous evening. When I inserted and opened the speculum the smell of semen was very obvious and small white deposits were visible here and there in the crevices of her vagina. It didn't bother me in that situation but in a real exam it might affect the smear test result?

So as Gynoslave says if you must do it then use a condom or failing that ask the guy to pull out and come on your belly!

Dr Philip - The UK Play Doctor.

If you have fresh semen in there, they'll know!

It's obvious on speculum exam of course....with the pap it depends on the lab and the tech but it may end up in getting an atypical cell...or more likely a benign cellular change back....so another pap appt. maybe a good strategy to get back to the doctor sooner!

Wife and I have had sex several times the night before her exam and the doctor has nerver said anything to her nor have any of her pap tests come back with anything wierd. I do believe as stated above that the doctor does know but does not say anything.

My girlfriend and I refrain from intercourse 48 hours before her annual pap and pelvic exam. We like the buildup leading up to the exam, including me watching her put on her bra and panties and getting dressed to go to her exam. Then I go with her and watch her entire exam. Then we go home and I reexamine her, then we have the most intense, awesome sex afterwards! She has a complete physical including a pap and pelvic coming up on May 6, I am so looking forward to that day! I can feel the anticipation growing already!

Rapidbiker you are a lucky guy. My wife would never let me go with her to a gyno exam. Hopefully you will tell us all about the exam on the 6th.

I am doing finger calisthenics now, because after her exam I will be typing away!

Wife will not let me hit it before exam. It once caused a abnormal pap resulting in a coloposcopy - ouch!

I watched "The Doctors" yesterday (4/20/11) nd Dr, Masterson was telling women to NOT have sex withing 24 hours prior to a pelvic exam. According to her, any semen left in the vaginia can cause a false reading when doing a PAP smear. Not only that, but any left over spermacide left in the vaginia can also cause a false reading, too.

Like others have said its about 24/48 hrs before appointment no sex.
