Under age 50: Do you know anyone that had an ailment discovered during an annual physical?

Asked by JLeslie (65417points) October 17th, 2017 from iPhone

I’m just curious how often a doctor discovers an illness at a physical exam when the patient has no symptoms, and is under the age of 50.

I am not including a GYN annual exam in this Q.

If you or someone you know did have something discovered during an annual exam, what was it, did it need treatment, and how was it found? Blood test, urine, stethoscope, doctor’s touch, etc?
