Accepted Answer

You : You should see an internal medicine doctor or a family practitioner yearly for a physical and any screening tests recommended for your age group and your specific health and family history.  You should also see a gynecologist regularly for an exam and pap smear.  They may need to do this every 1, 2 or 3 years depending on your health and family history.

Below i've attached a helpful website on the recommended screening exams for women.

Question 2

do female doctors touch penis during exam?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Unless you have problem relating to penis or there is voiding problem.

Question 3

at what ages should i start getting medical exams and what exams? i'm 20, only ever had regular doctor visits

Accepted Answer

USPSTF: The US Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for high blood pressure in adults aged 18 and older. They also recommend screening for HIV in adolescents and adults aged 18-65.

Question 4

how do female doctors do male exams?

Accepted Answer

Same as male doctors: After all, hey are physicians.Just like male doctors. Fortunately sexism is on the way out.

Question 5

hi doctors .. i'm a medical student i just want to know what can i do to relieve anxiety before exam?

Accepted Answer

#1 Rule is don't: Cram for exam. Study in blocks of time beginning early on. #2 don't do all -nighters. #3. Don't go too heavy on that caffeine. #4.Breath in slowly ; deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to. Do this before ; during test.

Question 6

dear doc, i m a medical student, having nervous attack every time i study and having hard time to focus with exams coming soon.need help?

Accepted Answer

Need: To get some relaxation exercises  to help you focus.    Also physical exercise can get your mind re focused on the task at hand    Medication would not be good at this point.   And may hurt you in the long run

Question 7

is annual exam at a naturopathic doctor the same as a medical doctor?

Accepted Answer

Mostly different: There is a significant difference in the basic philosophy of these two groups.  Naturopaths think the body will heal itself if we would just get out of the way. Assistance in this is by good diet, and positive outlook.  Their remedies are mostly unproven herbals with no clinical trials.  Med doctors have intensive training in modern knowledge and are more likely to find any problems you have.

Question 8

i never go to the doctor and don't plan on it, how would i know i had cancer without any medical exams?

Accepted Answer

Cancer?: One way is to change plans & go for exam. Benefits would last lifetime.

Question 9

what can make a person extremely dizzy all the time after having a full exam by doc and every possible medical test done with everything normal?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: I see anxiety as one of your conditions, so it may very well be the case. Anxiety leads to hyperventilation - fast, shallow breathing that in turn can cause dizzy feelings. Sometimes treating anxiety causes the dizziness to go away rather than chasing dizziness as the primary disease.

Question 10

what medical exam or tests would make a doctor think you had ibs?

Accepted Answer

None.: Ibs, or irritable bowel syndrome, is a diagnosis of exclusion. Tests are done to rule out other causes of the symptoms; in ibs, these tests are generally normal. There is no diagnostic test for ibs.
