Stem cell therapy contraindications are assessed before a plan is proposed, which is one reason consultation precedes treatment. Active infection, poorly controlled chronic conditions, pregnancy, and certain medications may make treatment inadvisable or require adjustment. A clinic should ask about these in detail rather than briefly.
Some factors do not rule out treatment but change the plan. Blood thinning medication, for instance, may affect how collection is handled. Recent surgery or ongoing treatment for another condition may affect timing. Disclosing your full history, including anything that seems unrelated, allows a proper assessment rather than a partial one.
Ask directly what would make you unsuitable and whether that can be determined before you travel. Ask also how the clinic handles a decision that treatment is not appropriate, including any costs already committed. A provider willing to decline cases is applying criteria, and that is a reasonable thing to look for. Ask what happens if a contraindication is found only at the examination stage, and how any payment already made is handled at that point.
