No secret database—just your medical record. But doctors don’t always control why they ask or where that info ends up. For example, in some U.S. states, laws force them to report certain reproductive health details (like abortion complications) to government databases—even if the patient’s issue was unrelated. Add in insurance requirements, EHR hacks, and legal subpoenas, and suddenly your private health data isn’t so private.
That’s not even mentioning how governments in China or South Korea use that info.
So the medical personnel asks about the period, writes it down, and then completely ignores the answer for the rest of the examination? They just do X-Rays even if a patient says “I haven’t had my period in 3 months”?

They test regardless. That’s literally why we say this question is ridiculous.
