Washington [US], May 27: US President Donald Trump underwent a routine medical check-up on Tuesday and subsequently raved about the positive outcome.
"Everything checked out PERFECTLY," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform after returning from a military hospital near Washington.
The president did not disclose any details regarding the findings or results. It was initially unclear when the White House would release more detailed information about the examination.
Critics complain that reports on Trump's health often contain rosy language but hardly any independently verifiable facts.
In October, physician Sean Barbabella said that Trump had the heart and vascular system of a 65-year-old, despite the president being 79 years old, following what the president called a "semiannual physical."
For Trump, the oldest president to ever be inaugurated, this was his third such appointment in the past 13 months. US presidents traditionally release information about their health, although they are not legally required to do so.
There has been repeated speculation about Trump's health, as images of bruises - some apparently covered with makeup - on his hands and swollen-looking legs circulated online.
Trump, who turns 80 next month, has explained the bruises as a result of frequent handshaking.
The White House has cited the use of blood-thinning medication as a cause.
In July, the White House announced that Trump suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a harmless condition of the leg veins that occurs mainly in older people.
