A physical exam is a routine check-up conducted by a healthcare professional to assess your overall health and detect any potential health issues early on. During the exam, your doctor will gather information about your medical history, perform a thorough physical examination, and may order laboratory tests or screenings if necessary.
What Is Looked for in a Physical Exam?
During a physical exam, your doctor will look for any signs of illness or disease. This can include checking your vital signs (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate), evaluating your overall physical appearance, and performing specific tests related to your age, gender, and medical history. The purpose is to identify any potential health concerns and provide appropriate guidance or treatment.
