      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

      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!
