A clear study of the etiology of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy has not been established. It has been suggested that the cause of nausea and vomiting is related to hormonal changes, gastrointestinal system, vestibular system, sense of smell, psychological reasons and genetic causes. Although its etiology is not known exactly, PUQE scoring is an easy way to diagnose..
