Professional answer
You can ask about the purpose of this test or procedure, alternatives, expected benefits, common risks, whether hospitalization is needed, pre-procedure preparation, post-procedure activity restrictions, and follow-up arrangements. You should also proactively disclose any allergy history, previous bleeding issues, kidney problems, possibility of pregnancy, and all medications you are currently taking. The specific choice should be made by a professional team based on individual circumstances.
