HPI: Associated signs

Hello to All and thank you in advance for your help!
I am struggling to understand why I cannot use patient’s ‘No" response to Associated signs to count it as an element for HPI. An example could be: patient’s Office visit for hemorrhoids. I have location, duration, quality; I just need one more element to count total 4 for HPI. I have 10 ROS and I have 3 PFSH. In HPI patient states ‘no bleeding, no nausea, no constipation." May I count pt’s denial to Associated signs as an element? I believe the doctor did his diligence by asking and pt replied; it just happened to be a negative response to Associated signs.
What is the rational here?
Thank you.
