Swelling evaluation is a critical diagnostic process that involves assessing the size, location, and characteristics of swelling to determine its underlying cause. It requires a comprehensive approach, including patient history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging or laboratory tests, to accurately diagnose and guide treatment.

Swelling Evaluation

The diagnostic process is a systematic approach used by healthcare professionals to identify a disease or condition based on a patient's symptoms, history, and test results. It involves gathering information, formulating hypotheses, and conducting tests to narrow down the possible causes and arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
