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?
