What is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis happens when your appendix which is a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen, becomes inflamed or infected and gets filled with pus.
Appendicitis causes acute and chronic abdominal pain, if left untreated, it can cause your appendix to burst. This can cause the infection to spill into blood and other organs in your abdominal cavity, which can be serious and sometimes fatal.
Buildup of hardened stool
Gastrointestinal infection or enlarged lymph nodes
Intestinal worms
Abdominal injury
Tumours
Loss of appetite
Indigestion
Nausea, Vomiting
Pain near the navel which moves to right side
Blockage of the appendix
Abdominal swelling
Low-grade fever
If a doctor suspects appendicitis, they will perform a physical exam to check for tenderness in the lower right part of your abdomen and swelling or rigidity. They may also do a digital rectal exam.
Depending on the results of your physical exam,the
doctor may order one or more tests to check for signs
of appendicitis or rule out other potential causes of
your symptoms. Some of the diagnostics used for
appendicitis diagnosis include:-
Medication is usually not effective for treatment of appendicitis and surgery to remove the appendix is practically the option. The surgery used to treat appendicitis is known as an appendectomy which can either be an open surgery or a laparoscopic surgery.
An open surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and involves a large incision in the lower right side of the abdomen. During this procedure, the doctor removes your appendix and if your appendix has burstthe abdominal cavity is cleansed and the fluids drained out. Open surgery is usually the option in case of burst appendix.
In other cases, FirstCure doctors use a laparoscope to perform minimally invasive surgery in which a thin tube with a camera attached is inserted though small cuts made near the navel which enables the doctor to see inside. This involves less cuts, minimal pain, practically no scars and much faster recovery.
