@1995victoria No, they do not. But they don't ask me about birth control or menopause like they do younger women. And they ask my husband about prostate concerns, which they wouldn't ask a 30 year old; they would ask him about STD's, drinking habits and safe sex practices.

Proper medical practice is about knowing what concerns frequently need to be addressed in specific populations and then doing it.

Whether it affects you right now or not, it is a fact that difficulty with daily tasks and physical activity becomes more common as we age. Learning if you are experiencing these issues requires questions because in a 15 - 30 minute appointment the provider does not have the opportunity to observe you "in action. " Thus asking specific questions is a "best practice" for providers, not disrespect.
