About Physical Examination

A physical examination by an Internal Medicine specialist is a fundamental, non-invasive diagnostic procedure that serves as the cornerstone of preventive healthcare and disease management. During this comprehensive assessment, the physician systematically evaluates your overall health by observing, listening, touching, and using simple tools. It involves checking vital signs (like blood pressure and heart rate), examining body systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, neurological, etc.), and assessing your general appearance. This hands-on evaluation allows the doctor to detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension, establish a baseline for your health, and determine if further specialized tests are needed. It is a critical first step in building an effective, personalized treatment plan.
