General Physical Examination

A General Physical Examination is a routine check-up performed by a healthcare provider to assess overall health. It involves reviewing your medical history, and examining different parts of your body, such as your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin. The doctor listens to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope, feels your abdomen and limbs for abnormalities, checks your blood pressure, and assesses your reflexes and muscle strength. This examination helps identify any early signs of health issues and guides further testing or treatment if needed, ensuring your body is functioning properly.
