Medical Question

[kengr]

For something I'm writing, I need to know when doctors and other medical personnel not familiar with a patient would ask a female appearing patient questions like "when was your last period?", "when was your last gyno exam?" etc.

Oh, btw, this is a high school age patient.

Basically any questions they wouldn't ask a male patient.

Also, I know that for some tests & drugs (and possibly other situations) they get rather insistent about "Is there any chance you may be pregnant?"

Y'see said character *isn't* female, so much "fun" is likely to ensue in such situations.

(I've got a trans friend who hasn't even begun to transition, but has been asked when the last time they had a pap smear was by a new doctor. But they are way past high school age, so I expect the questions and situations will be a lot different)

What are you using for birth control?

Do you do a breast self-exam every month?

Oops, Edited post to note that the patient is high school age.

I'd forgotten about birth control, but yeah, that'd be one.

And he *does* have to worry about breast exams. His breasts are part of he'd get mistaken for female.

If you are curious about the details of his strange situation go back and check my "Morgan" posts:
