Identifying Patient Candidates
You can make a difference.
Because one in four women suffers from abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), finding potential candidates for Her Option® cryoablation therapy may be as simple as asking a few questions.
The following list will help you determine if your patients have experienced some of the common symptoms of AUB.
Questions to ask your patients
- Does your period last longer than seven days?
- Do you use more than three pads or tampons per day?
- Do you need to double up on feminine protection or change protection during the night?
- Do you become fatigued or short of breath due to your heavy bleeding?
- Do you experience depression or moodiness during your period?
- Does your heavy bleeding interfere with your regular lifestyle (i.e. physical activities, intimacy, career, recreation, self-confidence)?
- Have you missed work because of your periods?
- Do you experience constant pain, severe cramps or headaches during your period?
- Do you experience irregular periods?
- Does your menstrual flow include large clots?
- Do you avoid leaving home for fear of accidents?
