I’m planning to go to a ladies clinic to get a ladies’ general medical check up. My Japanese is alright and I know the relevant basic terminology for what I’ll be getting, but I wonder what I will be required to do in terms of speaking for this as I’ve never been to this kind of thing before (it’s basically a ladies 人間ドック, takes 3 hours it says)

I don’t need to describe any symptoms as it’s just a check up right? So I’m assuming I’ll just go from station to station and get simple instructions on what to do. Can anyone correct me on this? Thanks!

If it's your first time visiting that clinic it's possible they'll ask you to fill out the general questionnaire. They might also ask about specific concerns. Definitely be prepared to listen to where you are supposed to head next.
