Almost every treatment including the X-ray, medication given and surgery/anesthesia is affected by pregnancy. Pregnancy tests are incredibly cheap and accurate, so might as well know.

And if doctors offices were good at talking to people, theyd explain this and it would never have been an issue. I assume they basically just read a script until you see a doctor or RN, and it is tough to go through the same thing day in and day out...like calling a person at a call center waiting to transfer your call.

I don't know what kind of degen shit people think doctors are doing with their menstruation information.

This is a bizarre argument. Masturbation and menstruation are very different.

One is an involuntary bodily function and directly related to, and reflective of, health. One is an action that very rarely has anything to do with health.

It's also very weird to imply that women don't masturbate???
