USAF Pilot "feminine exam" in pre-flight medical?

In a video a female US military pilot says women undergo a "feminine exam" in their pre-flight medicals. Why? Is this for pregnancy? Can't think of any other reason? It's at about 03:11

I think you'll find that male pilots go through "Men exam" for their parts also. Not an issue unless you make it one.

Whoever has a 'pre-flight' medical apart from an astronaut? Or a non-aircrew passenger going for a jolly?

Isn't the latter scenario what the video is about ?

With the gender identity issues we're beset with these days I'd imagine "What do you carry in your pouch?"
