it's common.
normally gynecologists opt to do this exam every 3rd or 4th visit.
i think it used to be a lot more 'the norm' ... but nowadays it seems most women don't like it so they have phased it out but it really IS the best way to feel the ovaries for irregularities or growths.
i think as you get older it becomes more important to get this part of the exam done.
