I had a doc that I went to for annual physicals. The first thing he asked was how was work, how was married life-sex, the kids-any problems, how life was going for me in general. Then he asked if I had any medical concerns.

Maybe I should take up drinking, Not! No, that doesn't work. I read about it and learned from others.
