Diagnosing the underlying cause of nausea and vomiting involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Key diagnostic steps include:
Medical History: Discussing the patient's symptoms, menstrual cycle, pregnancy status, and any associated pain or discomfort. Physical Examination: A pelvic exam may be necessary to check for signs of infection, masses, or tenderness. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, pregnancy tests, and cultures to check for infections or hormonal imbalances. Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to visualize the reproductive organs and identify any abnormalities.
