Visual / Sensory Examination

Description

Visual / Sensory Examination is a method of home diagnosis where you use your senses—sight, touch, hearing, and sometimes smell—to detect changes or abnormalities in your body.

Key points include:

• Observation (Sight): Checking skin for rashes, bruises, swelling, discoloration, or wounds.
• Touch: Feeling for lumps, tenderness, or unusual textures in muscles, joints, or other areas.
• Hearing: Listening to breathing sounds, heartbeats, or digestive noises for irregularities.
• Smell: Noticing unusual odors in breath, urine, or wounds that may indicate infection or metabolic issues.
• Early detection: Helps identify potential health problems before they become severe and indicates when professional care is needed.
