It’s apparently less common than it used to be (I’m quite old, and I also had pelvic pain which is another reason for doing a rectovaginal exam) but considering the fact that colorectal cancer is skyrocketing in young adults maybe it should make a comeback. Anyway I yeeted the uterus about 10 years back, yay!
My gyno does this during my annual. Never thought it was unusual because it’s a part of my body that needs health checking too. Never thought about it not being common, that’s interesting that’s not more universal
Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.
