- Abstract
This document provides an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It highlights that the cause of hyperemesis gravidarum is not fully understood, but certain factors may increase the risk. Treatment options aim to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, with antiemetics being the most effective. The document also discusses the potential adverse effects on both the pregnant person and their baby, as well as the importance of addressing their physical and mental health needs. It provides information on various treatment options, including approved medications and nonpharmacologic therapies. However, it emphasizes that there are still many unanswered questions and a need for further research in this area.
