Having Diarrhoea, Feeling Nausea, Burping, Missing Periods, Get Paranoid. Cause?
Hello, I have been getting severe diarrhea for 4 days now and I can t imagine a reason for it because it is my only symptom. Except that this morning I felt a little nauseaus and have burped a lot more than usual. My period is also late, which it never is. So I was wondering if diarrhea could be a symptom of pregnancy or if diarrhea (or degidration) can cause a period to be late. Also, what are early symptoms of pregnancy? Because I get paranoid about it almost every month.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Having diarrhea is not suggestive of pregnancy. It is more likely to be due to a rotaviral infection. A delay in your periods might be related to diarrhea but pregnancy needs to be ruled out with urine for pregnancy test.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
