What can I expect? I'm 23 y.o. and plan on seeing a Internal Med doc. This would be my first physical in 5 years.

They'll measure height, weight, and get blood to test blood sugar, cholesteral levels, and thyroid/hormone trouble. They will want a urine sample for kidney function or STDs.
They will do a P.A.P. test for abnormal cervical cells, and probably a digital rectal exam for abnormalities. Expect a breast exam, and a mammogram if there is breast cancer in your family.
Good for you for going....now do it every year!!!

So, why is this question in Alternative Medicine? Your doc will check your weight, blood pressure, vision, various openings, etc. Probably give you a lecture if you smoke or are overweight... that sort of stuff.

a complete history about everything to do with your health, then a complete exam from head to toe, including pelvic exam if you are sexually active, they may even do a pap, good luck
