Physical Exam

Stomach? Does he pound on it?

Maybe the condition of the spleen. Seems like I heard that somwhere, but don't know what they are specifically looking for.

I always thought they were looking for any kind of growths or lumps that aren't suppose to be there. Maybe swollen organs. Now that you have me thinking about it, I'll have to ask at my next visit.

Re: Physical Exam


Do you mean "stomach area" or lower "abdominal area"?

If you're talking about the lower abdominal area, ( and not the stomach )they're looking for rigidity and /or tenderness.
