How Is Chronic Cough Diagnosed in a Gynecological Setting?
Diagnosing the cause of chronic cough involves a multidisciplinary approach. Gynecologists may work closely with pulmonologists and other specialists to identify the underlying cause. Diagnostic methods may include: - Medical History Review: A detailed history of the patient's symptoms and any related gynecological issues. - Physical Examination: Including a pelvic exam to assess for prolapse or incontinence. - Imaging: Such as ultrasound or MRI to evaluate the pelvic organs.
