A physical examination (often called a "physical" or "clinical exam") is a routine test performed by a doctor or healthcare provider to check your overall health. It involves a systematic inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation of the body to detect any signs of disease or medical conditions.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically involved:

🩺 General Steps in a Physical Examination:

  1. Medical History Review

    • The provider asks about symptoms, past illnesses, surgeries, medications, lifestyle, and family medical history.

  2. Vital Signs Check

    • Blood pressure

    • Heart rate (pulse)

    • Respiratory rate

    • Temperature

    • Oxygen saturation (sometimes)

  3. Head-to-Toe Examination

    • Head & Neck: Eyes, ears, throat, lymph nodes, thyroid

    • Chest: Lung and heart sounds (with a stethoscope)

    • Abdomen: Feel for masses or tenderness, listen for bowel sounds

    • Musculoskeletal system: Joint mobility, muscle strength

    • Nervous system: Reflexes, coordination, sensation

    • Skin: Rashes, lesions, color changes

  4. Specialized Exams (based on age, sex, or symptoms)

    • Breast exam

    • Pelvic exam (for women)

    • Testicular or prostate exam (for men)

    • Eye and hearing tests

    • Neurological assessment

  5. Follow-Up

    • Lab tests (blood, urine) or imaging (X-ray, ultrasound) if needed

    • Discussion of findings, recommendations, and treatment options

О лечении

A Health Check-Up is a preventive medical examination designed to assess your overall health status and detect early signs of diseases or risk factors. These check-ups typically include a series of physical examinations, laboratory tests, and diagnostic screenings tailored to age, gender, medical history, and lifestyle.

Routine health check-ups are essential for early detection of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. They help doctors monitor critical indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, organ function, and more. Depending on the package or provider, a health check-up can range from basic blood tests to advanced imaging like CT scans or full-body MRIs.
