Routine physical examination..

[JaMakin07]

my parents scheduled a physical for me on august 16th , and knowing that a part of the examination is a urinalysis i got scared because i smoke alot
so i researched exactly what they check for in physical exams and i got this
--------------------------------
-a description of color and appearance
-specific gravity
-pH
-glucose
-ketone bodies
-protein
-RBC number
-WBC number
-The hormone hCG: pregnancy may be checked for by screening a woman's urine for this. Home testing pregnancy tests have been developed for this purpose.
-Pyroluria
--------------------------------
now ive only heard somewhere that typical urine test for physcial exams do not test for drugs and that a "Drug Screening Urinalysis" is a completely different type of test, should i be worried? will the physical exam detect my marijuana use?

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think it'll test for drugs.

I had a full lab (blood and urine) for my new doc so he could see how my body's doing, and no where in it did it say anything about drugs, all it stated was the numbers of cholesterol, sugar, and what not...

Maybe someone with more experience could tell you, but my guess is you don't have to worry about it.

Yes, there is a difference between urinalysis for a physical and a drug test.

I've also been wondering this too for a while, so according to FakeBoobsRule, lol, I'm guessing they can't detect marijuana use.
