What to expect from a full physical examination for a female?

oh and they prick your finger to see if your blood is all good i dont know how to word medical stuff haha

Female Physical Exam A woman’s annual exam might include:

Breast exam. Feeling for abnormal lumps may detect breast cancer or benign breast conditions. The doctor will also check the lymph nodes in the underarm area and look for visual abnormalities of the breasts.

Pelvic exam: The pelvic exam allows examination of the vulva, v¡g¡na, and cervix. Routine checks for sexually transmitted infections are often done. A Pap test can screen for cervical cancer.

Laboratory Tests There are no standard laboratory tests during an annual physical. However, some doctors will order certain tests routinely:

Complete blood count Chemistry panel Urinalysis (UA) Unless symptoms already suggest a problem, these tests are unlikely to provide useful information.

A lipid panel (cholesterol test) is recommended every five years. Abnormal cholesterol levels increase the risk for heart attacks and strokes.

I know youre only 13 but to answer the whole question for everyone.

Physicals Should Emphasize Prevention The annual physical exam is a great opportunity to refocus your attention on prevention and screening:

At age 50, it’s time to begin regular screening for colorectal cancer. People with immediate family members with colorectal cancer may need to be screened before age 50.

For most women, age 40 marks the time to begin annual mammogram screening for breast cancer. Everyone should have their cholesterol (lipids) checked every five years after age 20, according to the American Heart Association. Healthy behaviors work far better than medicine at preventing illness, and don’t require a prescription:

Do 30 minutes of brisk walking or other exercise, most days of the week. Your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer will fall dramatically. Eat a mostly plant-based diet, low in animal fats. Above all, don’t smoke. Thanks to Webmd.com ♥

AAHHHH!!!!!

I have to do that too?!?!!?!

Do you know if I can MAKE SURE I have a woman?!?!

i asked for a woman when i did one, my sister wasnt so lucky but i demanded to have one. just ask for a woman and refuse to go ahead with anything until they give you one

When i get an exam they include the testicular examination. which means they will do the same thing in a female exam, just for a girl instead of a guy.

You 13 your not going to get a pelvic exam, seriously if you haven’t been sexually active for 3 years and are not over 18 they will not do anything with your lower regions. They most likely will take your vital signs do blood tests and have you pee in a cup, very simple.

have u had a full physical examination

yeah i have…..

yeah they actually do do the pelvic exam…. i had to get one and my sister got one when she was nine and all of my friends went through it they do it for every girl i dont know what doctor u go to but most likely they’l do that
