Re: Question About Seeing an Adult Doctor - May 17th 2016, 11:21 AM

I know I’m not the best person to reply to this (aside from being female, we don’t have annual physical check-ups where I live) but after having looked online, I guess it varies. You’ll probably have the basics such as heart rate, blood pressure etc., but doctors might not give a rectal exam unless you are in an ‘at risk’ group such as being over 40. On the other hand, if you wanted to have a rectal exam done, you could always ask.

Is it possible to ask a doctor what kind of things they check at an annual physical? That might give you a better idea.
