Excuse me but what kind of an idiot doctor doesn't know what menstruation is or what it can potentially cause? And you really need to show him an app for that instead of just saying it happens every period? I'd rather change a doctor to someone who didn't sleep through their medical school...

This unfortunately seems to be rather common (at least in the US), John Oliver did an episode on it a short while ago. It has a lot to do with the history of the medical field as opposed to modern Mal-intent. For example a lot of testing was done on men and then that data was taken and also used for women. If you search for "John Oliver medical bias" you'll find the video.
