Can an iud cause nausea and vomiting?
About a month ago, I had an IUD inserted. Since then, I've been feeling quite nauseous sometimes and even had a few instances of vomiting. Could the IUD be causing these symptoms, or is it unrelated?

Please don't ignore this if it keeps happening. I once ignored severe cramping and nausea thinking it would just settle on its own, and it ended up being a bad infection. If you are vomiting frequently, get an ultrasound done to make sure the IUD is in the right place.

Haan, initial days mein hormonal changes ki wajah se thoda nausea feel ho sakta hai. But agar vomiting zyada ho rahi hai, toh ghar pe mat baitho na. Ek baar apni gynaecologist se check karwa lo, unhe sab pata hota hai.

My wife faced a similar issue after her insertion, so we went straight to Apollo to get it checked. The doctors there explained that mild nausea can happen due to hormonal shifts, but severe vomiting is not typical. Please visit a proper hospital and ask your doctor clearly to rule out any displacement.

Welcome to the group, dear. Yes, a few women do report feeling nauseous right after getting an IUD, especially hormonal ones, as the body adapts. Try drinking ginger tea or lemon water to soothe your stomach, but if you are actually vomiting, it is best to consult your clinic.

Sometimes hormonal adjustments can mess with your stomach and digestion. Try sticking to light, home-cooked meals and stay hydrated with coconut water or electrolyte drinks. If the nausea keeps you from doing your basic daily activities or workouts, then definitely get it checked.

During hormonal changes, our gut becomes very sensitive, so it is important to eat simple, non-greasy vegetarian food. Bland foods like khichdi or curd rice can help ease the stomach. However, if the vomiting is constant, dietary changes won't be enough and you must see your doctor.
