Are you wondering if ovulation is causing your unexplained nausea?
Nausea without any apparent cause can be an alarming symptom, since you may know that serious conditions can cause this.
“The majority of women do not experience nausea from ovulation,” begins Daniel Kort, MD, Practice Director of Neway Fertility, one of NYC’s leading fertility centers specializing in customized and affordable natural fertility treatments.
A small percentage of women may indeed experience ovulation related symptoms.
Dr. Kort explains, “However, because ovulation is part of an ‘inflammatory’ process, where a two to three centimeter-filled cyst ruptures, different symptoms can occur.
“For women who want to get pregnant, very few treatment options [to subdue nausea from ovulation] are available.
“However, there are many options for women not desiring pregnancy: anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., Motrin, Advil, naproxen), hormones to suppress ovulation (e.g., birth control pills), conservative measures (rest, drinking fluids, eating ‘light’ foods).”
