    Nausea and endometriosis - is this normal?

    Related Topics
    Endometriosis Fibroids Pelvic Pain
    Just wondering whether nausea is a common symptom of endometriosis?
    I had endometriosis and an ovarian cyst both removed during laparoscopy 5 yrs ago, have had 2 babies since then, but last few months have been getting pelvic pain (same pain as last time) and nasuea, among other symptoms. Have had ultrasounds, etc. and there are no cysts; doctor is thinking endo may have returned.
    The nausea is often (sometimes all day) and doesn't seem to be related to any foods/eating.
    Didn't have nausea last time, so just wondering if this is normal? Is there anyone else out there who has experienced this?

    Whilst pelvic pain is the most commonly reported symptom of endometriosis  women  may also experience fatigue,diarrhoea, constipation, bloating or nausea, especially during menstrual periods.Constant nausea however is mentioned less in the literature. Perhaps you need to consider other investigations.

    Hi there, 
    I too was diagnosed with endo 5 years ago and have since had 2 kids and in the last 6 months the pain is gradually worsening and all this week I've had constant nausea. I too was wondering if it could be endo related. Been having more bowel issues again too :(
    Definitely not much fun!
    Let me know if you get any answers, please.

    I've had a bunch more tests since writing original post and have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, high cholesterol and low vitamin D. GP believes fatty liver disease could be causing the nausea, but specialist disagrees. Pelvic pain and nausea have settled down a bit, still have other symptoms including really bad heartburn, having gastroscopy in couple of weeks to rule out coeliac disease. Good luck, keep having tests until you know what is going on. Oh and the gyno said pelvic pain could have just been scar tissue from the original surgery.
