1. Post-operative Care: After extensive gynecological surgeries, especially those involving the digestive tract or significant bowel resection. 2. Oncological Patients: Women undergoing treatment for gynecological cancers who cannot eat due to nausea, vomiting, or bowel obstruction. 3. Severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Pregnant women with intractable vomiting and inability to maintain adequate nutrition orally.
