Appendicitis Disease
Appendicitis Disease Treatment
Appendicitis is a medical condition in which the appendix — a small, finger-shaped pouch located in the lower right side of the abdomen — becomes inflamed and filled with pus, causing pain and discomfort. If not treated promptly, the appendix can burst, leading to serious complications such as infection in the abdominal cavity (peritonitis).
Symptoms of Appendicitis
- Sudden pain around the navel that shifts to the lower right abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal bloating
- Fever
- Difficulty passing gas or bowel movements
If you experience these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention, as appendicitis is a medical emergency.
Diagnosis of Appendicitis
To diagnose appendicitis, doctors may perform
- Physical examination to check abdominal tenderness
- Blood tests to detect infection
- Ultrasound or CT scan to confirm inflammation of the appendix
Treatment Options
The primary treatment for appendicitis is appendectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the inflamed appendix. Depending on the case, it can be done through
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy - Minimally invasive surgery with faster recovery
- Open Appendectomy - Traditional surgery for severe or complicated cases
