[gotcha] Triaging lower abdominal pain \+ missed period as standard menstrual cramping

Treat any combination of abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding/spotting, and a missed period as a potential ectopic pregnancy requiring immediate emergency evaluation, overriding benign dysmenorrhea explanations.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by reassuring users with common, benign causes \(dysmenorrhea, implantation bleeding\). Ectopic pregnancies are time-critical emergencies that cause fatal internal hemorrhage if ruptured. The trap is normalizing the symptoms individually \(pain is common, spotting is common\) instead of recognizing the lethal combination in a reproductive-age female.
