Endometriosis causes constant nausea????

[Lena85]

Hi everyone,
If you look at my previous posts you will see I've been sick with a huge list of symptoms the last 7months now. No one knows exactly what's wrong with me.

My worst symptom is living with constant nausea. But since becoming ill my period pain has  become unbearable. If I don't take painkillers I will throw up from the pain.

When  I was in the ER a gynocologist suggested I may have endometriosis, but didn't want to do a laparoscopy on me because its surgery. I took the pill she gave me for 3 weeks then stopped it because it made extremely ill. My doc told me never to go on the pill again because that's the 2nd time I  tried and had a serious side effect (including heavy bleeding that sent me to hospital),

So my question is, can endometriosis cause nausea that happens persistently all month and is at its worst during my periods? I also get severe diarehha/constipation, cramps, dizziness and migraines.

My doctor suspects I have endometriosis due to the irregular bleeding, nausea, and pain during my periods. Back in June she switched me to continual birth control (NuvaRing) which has really helped with all the symptoms except the nausea... She thinks we should wait until I'm ready to have kids to do the laproscopy but considering the cramps are coming back and the nausea is every morning I was wondering if it was a really big relief for you to do the surgery?
Also did your insurance pick up some of the cost?

This is why we need to see Endometriosis specialists as they can handle the bowels hooked to other organs and the wrong places...so they can do it right the first time...I had frozen pelvis 3 times, one before I ever had a surgery which proved it was endo causing the adhesions as it could have been nothing else, then the other two times were after the dr. took all my female organs including the ovaries ~ I had to have 1/2 my colon removed and had my organs gluing together s well...see a specialist rather then just getting diagnosis so they can do it all in one surgery...it is not a disease to mess with  but in the hands of a non-specialist you will end up with multiple surgeries...I have lost so many organs to this disease it's not even funny...but I laugh and say I need a zipper installed in my abdomen to give easier access...;) I too was unable to have bm's and no dr.'s would hear me...this went on for over 6 years where I was only able to get waste out with enemas or colon hydrotherapy and even that was hard...I lived on juice fasting for many years...it truly is a tough journey which is why it is so critical to get into the hands of a specialist!

Definitely have the surgery. This is my story. I have an identical twin sister who was diagnosed with endometriosis after years of pain, long periods and all the problems associated with endo. I also was having the same symptoms. When my twin had her surgery her bowels were stuck to her uterus. The doc tried to pry it away, but was worried about perforating her bowels, so he did the best he could. They were able to remove her  cervex and her tubes, but they could not remove her uterus. I was to the point where I was not able to poop for about two months. I kept telling my doctor that I was sure I had end and my insides felt like they were being squeezed. I visited the ER 3 times, had 3 ct scan with contrast and they finally said I had diverticulitus. When I was in the OR, the surgen found a large mass wrapped around my colon. He said I should be dead. I had a blockage, this is why when I pooped it only came out like stingy liquid. Guess what, when the did the biopsy it was endometriosis....Have the surgery I am lucky to still be here.

Yes endometriosis does cause nausea and bowel symptoms even if it is not on your bowel..I too have suffered with endo for 25 years or so and unfortunately had a hysterectomy 10 years ago only to have it continue to cause issues...I ended up losing half my colon to the disease and had spread from my diaphragm to my anus...even without ovaries...it actually grows it's own nerve and estrogen supply. I too suffered with severe migraines even while on bc...no right or wrong answers in this dreadful disease other then see an endometriosis specialist! I sure wish I had all those years ago as my story might have been much different...not that my life is horrible, but this disease has taken MUCH from me. I hate seeing Dr.'s who do not understand this disease cutting women up without excising the disease but just taking the female organs as this does not cure the disease...only cutting out any and all lesions will make you well...good luck in this journey...it is a tough one!

Thanks for your response. I know there were some posts that I have incorrectly gave some sort of responses to that I was not up to date on. As you can see this posts dates back really far and for me after tons of research even talking to top specialist things are different coming from many different surgeons. I was told that when I was first diagnosed in 2007 that the BCP and Lupron suppress Endo. It wasn't until late last year that I was corrected. I am not trying to bash anyone and there was one person on this site that I possibly did that to and it might be this particular post but I have written so many I am not sure what one it is. I was in the wrong when I said it suppresses Endo as that is what I was told. I can't delete posts so there is nothing I can do about it. I would hope in the future you would respond back to me in private message as I took the time to explain this to you. I am not trying to attack anyone and I am sorry that I can not delete posts its just not how this site works.

Get your facts right ticked and quite being so ticked off all the time. Don't act like you know everything giving all these users false information . You bashed the only  commenter that took time to actually help people and then acted like you knew everything when you don't . All you know is how to suppress not actually fix the issue.
