Hernia checks for females

After reading about them for years in medical fetish forums, I finally had a hernia check (doctors's finger into the scrotum and pushed into the abdominal opening)!

They seem to have been quite a regular occurrence for American males now over 50..

I'm now wondering - how do they take place for women and girls, if they take place?

I was a sophomore in high school and a group of girls had returned to class after receiving physicals from the school doctor. They were whispering among themselves when the teacher finally asked them what they were discussing. One girl spoke up and asked, "how do they check girls for a hernia?" The teacher explained that the doctor presses into the side of the groin and has the girl cough. He also said that the doctor may insert a finger and have the girl cough. My thoughts were racing imagining what happened to those girls in the nurse's office. I remember asking them and after some prodding one of them said "what he said." After that it became one of my favorite fantasies.

As far as I recall, I've never had a hernia check, although I've had plenty of check-ups and other medical care.

I've known two women who got hernias repaired, and they both noticed the same symptoms the men with hernias do, saw their doctor, and were diagnosed. There was no scolding for not getting checked or anything. In the US, it doesn't seem to be a part of routine care for females.

I have never had a hernia check like boys do nor do I know any women who have. Googling, inguinal hernia is significantly less common with women as the inguinal canal is smaller.
