Invasive history and questions

What questions that the doctor asks as part of a history taking makes you blush?

For me it’s anything to do with developmental history or masturbation

For me it’s almost the same thing. Masturbation, sexual activity and development. Although doctors don’t really ask any questions around it anymore as not being relevant at most times now. But earlier up until 25-30 it could have been relevant and questioning around it (especially psychological if it occurred) was quite embarassing … and still has an impact if cirrently done.

The only reason I would have ever asked a patient about sexual function is if there was a complaint about it. For example if the patient had an issue with erections, I would have made more detailed inquiries about it. Otherwise, not.

The medical group that my new doctor belongs to asks social and economic questions along with medical history. Do I regularly attend church, or go to other social groups. Do I worry about paying my bills or have other economic concerns. Do I own firearms. Do I feel safe at home. When the nurse pointed out that I had not filled out that part of the patient questionnaire I told her that it none of their business and to stay in their lane. All they need to know is I am able to pay my doctor bill. It looks like they are trying to mix politics with medicine. This really, really pisses me off. It is a struggle to remain polite while establishing boundaries. I don't yet know how how this relationship will pan out.

I had a burning feeling while urinating so went to the Dr. He took a sample of the discharge from my penis. He made a comment, "some sexual activity." I had been jacking off, he knew it. Don't know why I had an infection. I was embarrassed.

I don't think anything I've ever been asked would be considered invasive. On the other hand some years ago my wife's OB/GYN asked about whether we had firearms at home. She promptly told him that it was none of their business.

@TheOtherCecil I totally agree. Lots of the things they ask are a stretch to tie into an individual's health care. Many of the questions are directly from the AMA. I used the same terms "Next question" lol. It gets worse when you are on Medicare. There are lots of questions that are on the form directly from the feds. I was so unhappy with the direction the wellness exam went that I will not go for another one.
