well, it's mostly about modern health care!.more tests meaning more insurance can be billed. Generally if you are above 45 pap smear is recommended once every year and below that it should be once in 3 years. Other than that if proper clinical practise is done, the doctor should be able to treat regular patients just on their history and may not need any exams. but in us(if you are from there), it's a combination of legal problems and inflation of medical education together with the insurance blessings. Otherwise you may have been going to a teaching hospital, where every one wants to learn how to do a pelvic exam
