Diagnosis of sudden swelling involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Your healthcare provider may also order additional tests, such as:
Ultrasound: To check for conditions like ovarian cysts or DVT. Blood Tests: To evaluate for infections, kidney function, and other potential causes. Urine Tests: To check for protein levels, especially in cases of suspected preeclampsia. Imaging Studies: Such as MRI or CT scans to get a detailed view of the affected area.
