A practical guide to making treatment decisions. Decisions should be based on your symptoms, personal history and assessment by a qualified professional; a web page alone cannot diagnose a condition or establish whether a procedure is suitable.
Questions worth exploring
- Ask why this approach is being considered and what alternatives might exist.
- Review preparation, anaesthesia, possible complications and the expected recovery process.
