Answer 1

I think you are a little young for that kind of exam. but the doc may examine your b*****s If you have a male doc there should be a female nurse with you. they will check out your glands in the neck your ears and mouth they may tap on your back and may tap or press on your front pressing in the overy area they may check in the area of your appendex they may push on your legs to test muscle reactions they may also check pulse in the feet they may ask for a blood test to detemine if there are any problems.  

Answer 2

when boys go get a physical, their balls get scrutinized.... I cant see why they wouldnt do the equivalent for girls.  

Answer 3

I had just recently got my physical for school and it was fine. They will weigh you, see how tall you are, test your hearing, test your eyes (I didn't have to because I wear glasses), they will take your blood pressure, yes they will give you shots, I can almost be positive that they won't look at you naked but....you never know ( try getting a girl doctor). I think that's it. If I missed something important...my bad. You will be fine. I hope I helped!

Answer 4

No, you won't get a gynecological exam (checking "down there"). Especially for a school physical. You will get your heart, lungs, and abdomen looked at, eyes, ears, nose, throat, and checked for coordination and scoliosis (sidebending of the spine). You won't have to get naked, and you won't have a breast exam, because there is really no reason to check at your age usually.

If you have any major health problems those will get looked at in further detail to.
