I am sorry to hear about your daughter...unfortunately i have never had just
nausea. I have been blesses with adhesion problems for over 20+ years and it
is always pain then nausea. The pain comes on like contractions and gets to
the point that it does not stop. Sorry - not too much help for you. Hope
you find what you are looking for.

I am a newbie, looking at all potential reasons for my 12 year old
daughter's nausea. At age 2, she had surgery to remove a 12 cm ovarian
teratoma. Doctors originally thought it was a large mesenteric cyst
intertwined through loops of bowel. Once they entered the body cavity,
through a large abdominal incision, they discovered that it was instead
a large teratoma attached to her left ovary. They removed the teratoma,
performed a left salpingo-oophorectomy (took out left ovary and tube)
and bi-valved the right ovary. Her immediate recovery was uneventful.
At age 12, she suddenly began to complain of nausea. She was diagnosed
a couple of times with bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. Is
it possible for adhesions to play into this at all? She has only
complained twice of pain in the left lower quadrant over but
overwhelmingly the complaint is nausea without pain. Do adhesions ever
present without pain? My pediatrician obtained an opinion from a ob/gyn
surgical resident who said adhesions will only present as pain so the
chance of the nausea coming from adhesions is zero. Is this your
experience as well?
Thank you so much for any insight.
