I told my MD about what happened to me. But I do so with Mds sparingly. In the case of this MD, my ex T went to her herself apparently and thought she was a "safe" person to tell.
I saw her because I needed a new MD. I also needed anti anxiety meds because I was going to have to see and interact with my perp. So I needed her to write a prescription. I briefly mentioned I would be in a stressful situation over the weekend. She asked if I wanted to talk about it.
I took the plunge because of what my ex T had said. I told her I was assaulted and that I had PTSD. She told me she would strongly recommend T (lol not like I haven't tried). So in my case my dr was actually the one to recommend T.
For you, it really depends on the relationship, how trustworthy the MD seems, and how comfortable you are. People go to T for so many different reasons. Traumas, illness, injury, genetic issues, anything you can imagine. So just for your MD to know you go to T doesn't necessarily reveal anything. Don't let them pressure you into giving info though! I saw a nurse practitioner who knew I wasn't comfortable but pushed me anyway. I stood my ground and was glad I did. Go with your gut, and GL to you.
