Physical ?

What does a complete Physical mean - is that blood work too or just the basics?

Re: Physical ?

You might have to ask. It depends on why you are getting the physical and how old you are. I had to get physicals for school and for a job that had specific questions for the doctor to answer on a printed form. One required bloodwork be done and a urine test, the other just required a urine test. I have had physicals just for my own peace of mind and didn't get either tests done.

I am also approaching 40 and have talked to the doctor about certain tests I should get soon due to family history with certain illnesses.

I would consider it a head to toe exam.
Blood work, breast exam, internal, rectal,
glands checked.

It depends on your med history....usually just a check up pee in cup perhaps bloodwork.... also depends on your age...

Last time I went to get a physical the doc just asked me anything was wrong.

I peed in a cup.

And I got bloodwork...about a week later I had to go back for the results.

Depends on the doc though how thorough they are.

At my doctor's office, any woman over 30 has to have an EKG (painless, just akward) and blood work, breast exam but NO unrine..isn't that weird.


I just had mine done and was pleasantly surprised that my cholesterol was so low as well as the Triglycerides! Yeah Me!
