What is a well-adult visit?
A well-adult visit is a great opportunity for you to talk to your doctor about your health and wellness, so, for this reason, you should schedule a well-adult visit every year. During these visits, you can also have the necessary health screenings and blood tests that allow your doctor to diagnose and treat different conditions in its earliest stages.

What are the benefits of a well-adult visit?
There are different primary benefits of well-adult visits, among which are the health screenings that either confirm that you’re healthy or reveal health conditions in their early stages. This is of high importance for all adults, as many health conditions are asymptomatic in their early stages, so you wouldn’t be able to tell that something is wrong.
For example, it is said that half of the estimated number of American adults who have high blood pressure, who are 75 million, don’t know they’re at risk of heart attack, stroke, and other potentially catastrophic health problems.
For this reason, at your annual well-adult visit, your provider checks your blood pressure and is able to keep a record of your readings. With this information, if your blood pressure shows an upward trend, your physician can help you lower your blood pressure before it puts your health at risk.
At the same time, a well-adult visit is your chance to get personalized, expert health advice. Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, has a team of providers that, no matter your concern, can assess your health and provide treatments to help you lead a healthy, active, and fulfilling life.
What happens during a well-adult visit?
During a well-adult visit, a member of the clinical team will check your weight and blood pressure. In order to continue with the process, you will meet with your doctor and review your medical history. This moment is crucial, so mentioning any concerns you have about any aspect of your health and wellness is of high importance.
After this, your doctor performs a physical exam. Our professionals will listen to your lungs and heart and look into your mouth, eyes, and ears. Additionally, they will feel your abdomen for signs of swelling in your liver and other abnormalities. Moreover, if you are in need of health screenings like Pap smears, mammograms, or prostate tests, your doctor will perform the testing or provide the right referral for the case. They can also give you any necessary immunizations or boosters.
