AB Nausea  and  vomiting  may  be  caused  by  a  number  of  factors,  with  two  of  the  most  common  factors  being  chemotherapy  and  surgery.  Nausea  and  vomiting  can  lead  to  serious  medical  complications  such  as  dehydration,  electrolyte  imbalances,  and  esophageal  tears.  It  is  easier  to  prevent  nausea  and  vomiting  than  to  treat  it  once  it  has  started.  Although  significant  progress  has  been  made  in  the  management  of  nausea  and  vomiting,  these  side  effects  are  some  of  the  most  worrisome  and  undesirable  effects  reported  by  patients  receiving  chemotherapy  and  may  cause  patients  to  avoid  further  chemotherapy.
