Question: Uhh!. just asking :)!?
what is a physical!. im going to a camp and i think i have to get one this year what do they do to you!? anything personal!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Normally they just check things like reflexes, ears, nose, breathing and lungs (with the stethoscope), heart beat, blood pressure, they will probably check yoru back for scoliosis depending on how old you are and if youve ever been checked before!. They do that just by having you bend over and they trace your spine to make sure it is straight!. They don't do anything invasive!. Nothing to worry about, if youve ever had to go to the doctors before you started a grade in school its the same thing really!. It will probably only take about a half hour topsWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's a general health check-up - height, weight, allergies, blood pressure, that sort of thing!. Different physicals will consist of different tests, but in general I would imagine it's to see what activites you might not be able to do for whatever reason!.

I wouldn't expect it to be too personal - and whoever is running it will probably have done similar tests hundreds of times!. If you're not sure what a test is for, make sure to ask!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A full physical can get personal!. For females they will have you completely undressed wearing loose gown (it doesn't even go completely around you)!. But that's pretty much the most uncomfortable part!. Its non-invasive meaning they will not enter your body in any way!. If its a male doctor they will have to have a "chaperone" present, meaning another female (either nurse or parent) for liability!. If its a female doctor there are no issues there!.

They will most likely start with blood pressure, check your ears, nose, eyes (ect)!. They will check your reflexes!. Heart rate, lungs, temperature!. It's all basic stuff, nothing to worry about!. If anything, its just always so cold in the office and thats the one thing I don't like the most!. :)

For the guy who mentioned the metal sticking - he is referring to a pap smear but that is not included in a physical (hence the non-invasive I included)!. He is just being stupid!. Don't listen to him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm a student athlete and i have to get physicals in order to play sports for my school!. they are nothing big!. the basics to a physical are that they check if your allergic to anything, any heart conditions, any health deficiencies among your family members, and other basic health check ups!. no shots should be involved!. for guys, if they go to a family doctor for a physical, they will check the genitals for hemorrhaging!. idk if they'll do anything down there for girls!. hope i helped a little!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a physical is when they weigh you and listen to your heart check your eyes inside your mouth , your ears, they listen to your heart beat and prolly they might give you a shot!.!.but it shouldn't be anything personal unless you make it personal! Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com

its like a checkup at the doctors!. nothing really at all!. they'll ask a few questions, check your ears and eyes maybe, maybe get some shots, and make sure your spine is ok and stuff like that!. i had physicals before and i never had a doctor touch me anywhere that was uncomfortable for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the doctor checks out your reflexes, your mouth and respiratory system(breathing), he/she also checks your urine to see if it has healthy levels of certain elements etc!. the only "personal" part is when the doctor checks your testicles for testicular cancer if youre a boyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Not all doctors do the same thing in a physical!. I would call your doctor's office and talk to one of the nurses and ask them what exactly is done!. They get questions like that all of the time!.!.!.it's not unusual to be worried about things like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
