Physical examinations are great for the fact that they can be interpreted immediately. Physical examinations are not only reserved for patients experiencing symptoms but is also recommended as a way of ensuring your general health is good – you won't always notice symptoms when something is wrong. For example, your blood pressure may be high but you may not be experiencing any obvious symptoms. A physical examination may be brief but a complete physical examination involves evaluating everything from the patient's appearance to specific organ systems. All the information is recorded which then becomes your medical record. There are several techniques your doctor may use during a physical examination. A visual examination is used to visually assess parts of the body by looking for abnormal color, shape, size, texture etc. Palpation involves feeling the body using the hands in order to assess size, shape, location and level of pain etc. Percussion拍打 involves producing a sound by tapping or scraping a part of the body which can allow determination of parameters such as organ size and density. Finally, auscultation involves listening to sounds produced by organs such as the stomach, lungs, heart. Your doctor will utilize a variety of instruments during a physical examination such as a thermometer体温计 to measure测量 your temperature; a blood pressure monitor血压计 to measure blood pressure; a stethoscope听诊计 to listen to organs such as the abdomen, heart and lungs; an ophthalmoscope to examine the eyes; a speculum to allow examination of the cervix; and an otoscope to examine inside the mouth, ears or nose. During a physical examination, the doctor will first record your medical history. He may make notes on your general appearance and then check your vital signs – temperature, pulse, blood pressure. He will then measure your height and weight. Any pain being experienced will also be noted (usually be the patient's perception of the pain on a scale of 1-10). The doctor will then proceed through a range of possible examinations on various parts of your body as detailed below. As mentioned earlier, each doctor will perform physical examination in different orders顺序不同 and in varying detail详细程度也不一样 depending on the patient's requirements. The doctor can evaluate the abdominal area by examining the abdomen, liver, spleen, kidneys, costo-vertebral angle, anus and rectum by using a variety of techniques such as visual examination, percussion, palpation and auscultation. The doctor may also look for a linguinal hernia and take a stool sample. The doctor may do an ear, nose and throat assessment by examining the external ear, internal ear and nose – an otoscope is used to examine the inside of the ear or nose. A basic hearing test may also be conducted. Heart functioning can be assessed by measuring the radial pulse脉搏. The limbs may also be assessed for evidence of edema. Further tests will be ordered by the doctor if deemed necessary e.g. blood tests. The doctor may then offer you advice on how to prevent disease and maintain or improve your health. You may even receive written information about what screening or preventative services you should undertake. Obviously it is then up to you whether you follow up your doctor's advice on further tests, screenings, lifestyle changes etc.
