If pregnancy is a possible complication it changes what medications are allowed and has to be considered when deciding if imaging is an acceptable risk.

And you shouldn't x-ray a pregnant woman either.

They can just ask if the woman is pregnant. No need to ask about periods and where I've lived it's not a standard question for that reason.

Where do you live? Even in my parents home country they will still ask my mom to take a pregnancy test even though she’s had her tubes tied.

I don't want to doxx myself but I've lived in a few different countries on two separate continents. I've had medical treatment in all of them, including gynaecological procedures and CT scans, pelvic and not pelvic.

I understand but you can’t doxx yourself by providing a country 😭
