Radiation therapy induced nausea and vomiting

Radiation Therapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting

Radiation therapy can cause nausea and vomiting due to the disruption of healthy cells and tissue. As radiation energy passes through your body, it can cause damage to the body's normal cells, which can in turn lead to nausea and vomiting.

These side effects are often the result of the healthy cells in your gastrointestinal (GI) system being affected by the radiation. The radiation can cause irritation and inflammation to the stomach lining, which can lead to nausea and vomiting.

There are a few things that can be done to help reduce the risk of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). Here are some tips:

  • Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to help alleviate dehydration caused by the nausea and vomiting.
  • Eat small, light meals throughout the day.
  • Avoid fatty and spicy foods.
  • Talk to your doctor about anti-nausea medications. These medications can help reduce side effects of radiation.
  • If possible, try to get some rest and relaxation. Stress can increase the risk of nausea and vomiting.

If you find that you are experiencing nausea and vomiting from radiation therapy, talk to your doctor about ways to reduce the side effects. Your doctor can recommend medications that help reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting, as well as lifestyle changes that may help you cope with these side effects.
