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.

I'm too old to be embarrassed by questions any more. I just provide the answers., although once I tried to shield a dental hygienist from asking too much. Every six months I have my teeth cleaned and checked for any problems. On one occasion the dental hygienist asked me if I had had any surgeries since I was in last time. I hesitated as I thought the answer had little to do with teeth, so I answered that I did have a surgery. She asked what kind. I answered it was of a urological nature. She asked what kind of urological nature. I answered that it dealt with men's issues. She persisted and asked if I would be more specific. So I told her. I had a penile implant to deal with erectile disfunction. Her eyes grew large, her face turned red and after the shock wore off in three or four seconds she abruptly left the room. I don't know whether she was too shocked to go on (this is Utah, of course), or she couldn't stop laughing - hard to tell,. Well, she persisted so I had to give it to her both barrels. She returned in about three minutes when she had recovered her composure, I think I may have told this story before but am not certain.

I used to blush when in high school and college when the doctor or nurse practitioner would as about sexual health, masturbation, or symptoms of or testing for STDs, but hadn't blushed in some time until recently. I developed a UTI and the nurse practitioner that was about 25 asked me if my partner and I engaged in anal sex? Being heterosexual no one had ever asked me that and I blushed and said not right now because my current partner wont. She said that if I we did anal without condoms I would need a specific antibiotic and quickly proceeded to the exam because my face was very red.

Actual doctor's questions haven't bothered me. But I love when my play doctor asks about my sexual history... I always answer her questions with a red face.😳

I don't think I have had invasive questions in the sexual sense. At most a question on bowel movements.

I think this feature film displays one of the best examples of invasive history and questions

The only questions that I consider to be invasive, are those related to depression. In America, you have to be very careful about what you tell a healthcare provider. The information can cause your insurance company to increase your rates, and you may be disqualified from some job opportunities. If you tell your doctor that you’re depressed, they will enter your name in a database, and you will be hounded to seek therapy, take medication, and complete psychological evaluations. They don’t make a distinction between having a bad day, and having chronic depression.

Several years ago there was an arm twisting safety campaign by our intrusive US government that required health care providers to question patients regarding firearms in the home. I think most doctors refused to comply with this line of questioning and most patients (myself included) declined to answer.
