Female physical exam

On a complete physical for the female patients, does the doctor examine your feet.

When I have my female exam, my doctor always checks my feet. The doctor checks my feet for swelling, checks the pulses in my feet, and checks my toes for capillary refill.

If diabetic yes

I have had both one doctor checked my feet the other one didn't I think that it depends on the doc.

If I'm examining any patient thoroughly I always look at the feet. Pulses, circulation, swelling, infections, lots of things not to miss.

Never for me.

Never has a dr examined my feet

Never had a chekc on my feet at all even when i was in hospital!

This playdoc would examine your feet. My top to toe examination means top to toe.

And Shygirly - you were going to get to chat with me months ago!

During a thorough physical, yes, the examining physician should check everything. While a cursory exam of the feet is usual (all toes present, no edema, etc.), during the neurological portion of the exam, the feet are used to check reflexes by scraping the sole of the foot, and the Achilles tendon is usually tapped with the reflex hammer. Many patients with ticklish feet often complain of this procedure, as it can be trying for them. Some physicians may also check the neuro status by poking the feet, as well as the hands and other points of the body.

I honestly never really remember a doctor ever checking my feet. Maybe the hands, but thats rare as well, but i guess its because its fairly quick and not too much involved other than inspection. Which could be done with out you ever knowing

Yes of coures

I've never had my feet examined by my gyne, at least not so far

The only time I have ever had my feet checked is when I went to the doctor specifically for a foot problem. However, it sounds like something I would enjoy, and actually not be afraid of, at a real doctor!

My doctor never checks my feet

It never happened to me.

I have never had a dr examine my feet

Might run a needle up the sole to check reactions

I've never had a dr check my feet during an exam.

Weird, i have never had my feet examined. i wounder what this would include

I've never had my feet checked at an examination, but that is another thing that I would truly enjoy from a play doc. I would enjoy any attention that he would give any part of my body, prolonging the anticipation of the moment when he askes me to slide down lower on the table... a little bit more...

Only when I was pregnant. They check for swelling. I always keep my socks on too...somehow that makes me feel less naked. I don't know why.

Usually during diabetic patient,in other case i think is very rare

Head to to exam isn't it? so I think it's very interseting part of the female exam and apart form diabetes lookin among the toes check the entire feet for fungus or infection That can lead to some difficult situations to treat. I think it's sensual also. I'm for it!

I can't say I've ever had that done!

My dr does as she places them in the stirrups.

My doctor always presses on my toe nails. She does the same to all her patients.

My GP and GYN always examines my hands, feet, fingers and toes. A lot can be learned about the health and condition of a person from doing so. I make sure toe and fingernails are free of all nail polish etc etc etc. Several years ago when I had to see a cardiologist, pulmonologist, rheumatologist, they also examined my my fingers, toes, finger and toe nails.
