pelvic history

I saw a mexican lady with abdominal cramping for a few days and a +B-HCG. During the rule out ectopic and rule in IUP, I performed a pelvic exam. She said that this was her first one which I found very odd considering she already had a 7 year old boy, who was birthed during a C-section.

One of my coworkers chalked it up as a cultural thing that many mexican women deny they had ever had a pelvic. Why is this?
