Do doctors check for drugs in urinalysis when you go for a physical?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Urinalysis: Nope. Not at all. Any drug screening would be something the patient requests.

Typically no: When you see the doctor for a physical, the doctor is checking the urine for blood, protein, sugar or possibly infection. Urine drug testing can be performed at your or your parents request. If the physical is for employment, some employers will check for drugs (legal and otherwise) with urine testing.

No: To check you without permission would be unethical and would simply not be done.
