The doctor may perform the following examination or exploration:
.Control of Cardiac Frequency (Normal: 60 to 100 beats/minute)
.Control of Breathing Frequency (Normal: 16 to 20 breathing cycles/minute)
.Control of Temperature (Normal: 36,5 - 37 °C)
.Control of Blood Pressure (Normal: ≤ 120/80 mmHg)
Thorax Examination:
. Observation (or Inspection)
. Palpation (or touching)
. Auscultation (hearing): the noises/sounds produced by the lungs and heart
. Percussion(repetitive taps): to know how each part of the thorax sounds like
Abdomen Examination:
. Observation (or Inspection)
. Palpation (or touching): to know if there is any area causing pain and to recognize the presence of any injury that can be perceived by touching.
. Hearing the noises of the badomen (Hydro-aerial sounds)
. Percussion (repetitive taps) to know how each part of the abdomen sounds like

It's a study which allows to examine the inside of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.
The doctor uses a thin and flexible tube with a lens and a light called endoscope; and visualizes the images on a video monitor. Generally, it's performed under anaesthesia.

.Palpation (or touching): to know if there is some area that causes pain and to examine if there is any injury that may be perceived by touching.
.Hip joint mobility evaluation: if it is or it is not restrained.
.Skin examination (colour, temperature, presence of any injury)
.Evaluation of:
..Achilles (ankle) reflex; it's an evaluation of the reaction of the ankle when a small strike with a hammer or other element is given.
.Patellar reflex (of the knee): . it's an evaluation of the reaction of the knee when a small strike with a hammer or other element is given.

. Objective valuation of amount and distribution of hair through Ferriman-Gallwey scale in which a value from 0 (no hair) to 4 (great presence of hair) is assigned to one of the 9 areas sensitive to androgens. The maximum scording is 36 (4 points for each of the 9 areas), and Hirutism is defined when the addition of all the areas is equal or over 8 points.
There areas of the body evaluated are: upper lip, chin, sternal region, upper abdomen, lower abdomen and pubis, arms, upper back, lower back, gluteus and thighs. It's worth noting that the scale values are useful in the evaluation of Caucasian women, but not of eastern women, because this population has characteristically less hair in comparison with southern Europe population.

It's an invasive study in which electrodes (patches) are placed on the chest with a small monitor that registers and records your heart rhythm. It's placed from 24 to 48 hours while the patient continue with his/her normal life. Then it's removed and the results are analysed.

Proteic hormone that, besides from being produced during pregnancy, is also produced by certain tumours and therefore being used as a tumour marker (substance that can be detected in the body and its presence above a certain level may indicate the existance of cancer).

Hydration: drink small quantities of wáter (half a glass) every 30-60 minutes. Avoid large quantities of liquids. You can also drink sports beverage (electrolyte-rich such as sodium, potassium and minerals)

Start eating gradually. When the vomits ease, start your regular diet gradually. This will help to reduce diarrhea. You can try with soft food and easy to digest. You may also try eating smaller portions during the day.

Recommended food:
-Chicken or other lean meat.
-Potatoes
-Whole grain
-Fresh or compote (without sugar) banana/apple
-Whole rice
-Vegetables
-Yogurt/milk: depending on the tolerance.

Food you must avoid:
-Coffee
-Fried or greasy food
-Sugary food (especially sodas and fruit juice)
-Spicy food or too much seasoned
You must avoid alcohol and cigarette.
