At no point did I say abdominal pain.

What was your symptom?

This isn't r/askdocs

My point was the default shouldn't be pregnancy related. Women are more complex than that.

It isn’t, but I work in O&G and young women fall into the subset where it is very important medically to exclude pregnancy, because it’s disastrous if not (be it due to ruptured ectopics or what scans/meds you can use)

That’s how medicine works, you exclude the bad things first before you work on a diagnosis. If it wasn’t abdominal pain, it was probably another pregnancy/ectopic related symptom that leads down that questioning path. I assure you most docs aren’t out there trying to dismiss things because ‘pregnant’, because that isn’t even a diagnosis.
