Palpation

Palpation is a research method that involves feeling and feeling the organs of the body. It is used to diagnose various diseases and pathologies.

Palpation is one of the main diagnostic methods in medicine. It allows the doctor to determine the condition of organs and tissues, as well as identify the presence of tumors, cysts, abscesses and other pathological formations.

During palpation, the doctor uses his hands to feel organs, muscles, blood vessels and other tissues. He can use both superficial and deep palpation. Superficial palpation is carried out on the surface of the skin, and deep palpation is carried out inside the tissues.

To carry out palpation, special equipment is used - a stethoscope, phonendoscope or other instrument. The doctor may use their fingers, palms, or even special instruments to perform a more precise examination.

One of the advantages of palpation is its accessibility. This research method can be carried out both in a hospital setting and at home. However, to carry out palpation you must have certain knowledge and skills, as well as special equipment.

In general, palpation is an important method for diagnosing and treating many diseases. It allows the doctor to obtain information about the condition of the patient’s organs and tissues, which helps him make the correct diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.
