As an emt I can say that is what we are told to ask from the start but most of the time it is based around any abdominal pain in a woman from 8 to 80
I only had one instructor out of my maybe 10 or so said to check to make sure the patient can physically get pregnant before you assume that is the issues
They also said you need to assume they are until conclusively proven otherwise even if directly told multiple times they aren’t

I know at least one woman who physically couldn’t get pregnant until she got pregnant.
She hat ovary cancer and they removed one and a half ovaries. It was determined that the remaining ovary was too damaged to still produce any eggs. She had eggs frozen before the operation, and she and her husband used all of them up in IVF, none worked.
They then gave up and adopted a kid, and a few years later a second one. Right after they adopted the second one as a newborn, she got pregnant. Apparently, they stopped using contraception because couldn’t get pregnant anyway. Now they have two kids under the age of 1.
She totally would have told any medical professional that she physically couldn’t get pregnant, until she did.
