Ladies, when was the first time the doctor checked "down there" during a routine exam?

Males begin receiving hernia checks when they are teens, the doctor places fingers next to the patients genitals and has them cough. So for males, being exposed to a doctor regularly begins in their early teens; when does this happen for females? What would the doctor be checking?

A pediatrician has never checked me down there. The first exam like that was when I had my first gyno exam when I was 14.

Around 16 at my first gynecological appointment

Depends where I was living. I don’t remember ever having my pants off as a little girl in Australia, once or twice in each New Zealand and England but every damn time I went to the doctor in the US.
