Do doctors ask about periods?


Question:
That's one thing I don't feel comfortable talking about with anyone. I'm going to get checked for a hormonal imbalance and also going to see someone about my acne.

Answers:
Doctors don't tend to get too personal about asking about your periods. They probably ask if it's regular and when your last one was. I'm sure everything will be fine, don't panic. A doctor's job is to protect and help you not to embarrass you.
oh yes
Grow up. It is no different than talking about acne.!
yes but if he or she doesn't ask just bring it up urself. if ur period is off it can definitely be a sign of hormonal imbalance.
No, doctors don't ask about periods, Unless you're seeing a gyn doctor.
yeah everytime i've been to the doc no matter what its for (sinuses, flu, whatever) they always ask me when my last menstrual period was...
They should. And I'm sure they will, since your being seen for a hormonal imbalance.
Yes. History of your cycles will also be needed.
yes they do depends on how old u are
Some doctors do some doctors don't. It depends on your doctor. If you are going to a gyno, they will definitely ask but if not, they might not. If they do ask it's not a huge deal and don't stress about it they just ask when your last menstrual period was and that is it, and it's normally the person who takes you into the room, and that is it unless you are having problems. If you are having irregular periods, you SHOULD talk to your doctor about it anyway. And like I said, it's not a big deal we all get it :o) so don't stress!
yes like when i went for my physical they just ask if your having any troubles w/ your period... its not a big deal its sumthing u will be asked more about when u keep getting older!
my doctor asked me when i was 14
Yes, because of why you are going. This is to find out how regular your periods are. That way he/she can fix your hormonal imbalance. Always be honest.
