4. Vomiting
Vomiting often accompanies nausea, and many women who suffer from ovarian torsion often experience vomiting. Again, this symptom can be confused with many other medical problems, including a stomach virus, upset stomach, pregnancy, or just period sickness. Vomiting alone is not a symptom of ovarian torsion, but when it accompanies the other symptoms, it could be cause for concern. Some women experience severe vomiting that prevents them from eating or going about their normal activities.
Other women may only vomit once or twice and feel better. Women who experience this as the only symptoms of ovarian torsion are not likely to seek medical attention unless the vomiting becomes severe. Even then, it can be hard for doctors to make a proper diagnosis, and they may not even test for ovarian torsion unless other symptoms are present.
Vomiting that lasts for more than 24 hours should be considered cause for concern.
