Why is a preliminary consultation needed?
Listening to symptoms, performing a gynaecological examination and checking for infection, lesions or contraindications are essential. This also allows discussion of alternatives and the current state of evidence.
- Listening to expectations and symptoms
- Appropriate gynaecological examination
- Information about uncertain benefits and limitations
- Individual decision and consent
