Forgive the ignorance, but are regular OBGYN appointments a thing in the US? From the media I’ve consumed it appears so. I know people with actual gynaecological issues like endometriosis, and even they find the idea of regular checkups without a cause weird.
Generally starting around 25 you're encouraged to get annual checkups. They check for cervical cancer and do a quick breast exam and then send you on your way. It's also a time to go over any irregularities of the past year and to discuss birth control and the like.
Some people also see gynecologists as their regular doctor, going to them for general health checkups.
