Only if I felt the doctor needed to know, eg I have bruises all over, or if I had questions pertaining to it.

If there are marks. I haven't been in that situation, but who knows.

I've seen a lot of advice re: what terms to use, and I think the most easily understood is "rough sex." (And maybe a big goofy smile?)

That's great advice, which I'll use if I'm ever in the situation.
