Patient's question:
After I experienced constipation again, I've felt uncomfortable in my stomach for the past two days. I keep feeling nauseous and like I want to vomit. I'm not sure what's going on. Does constipation cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and dry heaves?Doctor's answer:
Indeed, some patients may experience nausea or vomiting when constipation recurs, which is indeed related to intestinal absorption. For constipation, consider eating more fruits and vegetables, and also pay attention to drinking more water. If nausea occurs, it is recommended to have a thorough check-up in the gastroenterology department. If there are issues such as gastritis, it is important to address them promptly to avoid worsening the condition.
