If it's a school or sports physical, the doctor will measure your weight and height, listen to your heart, check your gait (basically watch you walk around the room), look at your spine to make sure there isn't any improper curvature, draw blood, make you pee in a cup (this part can't be too significant, though- I've never been able to do it because I can't pee under pressure and they've never pressed the issue), and update any shots you may need. If this is a gynecologist visit, you'll have all that stuff plus checks for STDs and cervical cancer and a breast exam.
A physical is no big deal they will check your vitals, eyes, ears, push around on your stomach, check your reflexes. They will also give you a breast exam just like the one you should do yourself, I don't know how old you are but they may give you a pap smear. It's all pretty simple they just completly check over your body and make sure nothing is wrong. They may also take blood to run some tests. Don't worry there no big deal.
I had one last year, I'm 13. Height, weight, heart, press your tummy, make sure your o.k. "down there".
If you're referring to a physical given by your gynocologist which I presume you are based on where you posted this question it'll go something like this:
1.) A nurse will ask for a urine sample, update your chart, and take your blood pressure.
2.) You'll then be asked to take off all of your bottom half clothing, and unhook your bra before the doctor comes in
3.) When the doctor come in they'll ask you about your periods, any discharge, any cocnerns, if your sexually active
4.) Then they'll go about an exam.
The exam will/should consist of:
1.) A breast exam - the doctor will just feel your breasts for abnormal lumps
2.) A pelvic exam - you'll sit on the bed with your feet in stirrups, the doctor will sit down with a light pointed in your vaginal area, insert a small duck-billed instrument called a speculum. Then he/she will do a "looking" exam where they just look at coloring, and shape/size, then they'll insert 1 or 2 fingers in your vagina and do a hand-on exam of your ovaries, and stuff. Then lastly they'll take a long q-tip like thing, swab it around to collect cells from your cervix, and send it off to the lab to check for precancerous or cancerous cells.
At that point you'll be finished, told to change, and your doctor will leave the room.
I know it seems long but it only takes a few minutes for the entire exam, and to be honest, when I had mine done last week (it was my first one ever, even though I'd been to the gyno before) I had no idea she was even doing it until I saw her throw the speculum away.
Hope this helps. Email me if you need more information or if you need the break down for a school (not gynocologic) physical. Good Luck. :-)
