How should appendicitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Often experience lower abdominal pain, abnormal white discharge that is slightly yellow and has an odor, which significantly affects daily life and work. How should one treat adnexal inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Appendicitis can be classified into acute and chronic types in clinical diagnosis. If acute appendicitis is not treated thoroughly or if patients over-treat it, it can lead to the recurrence of chronic inflammation, not only threatening their fertility but also potentially causing the third symptom to disappear. Early treatment is recommended. If acute appendicitis involves purulent accumulation in the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and the cystic mass is large, antibiotics alone may not be sufficient to completely resolve it. After active treatment for 3 days, if symptoms do not improve, surgical treatment should be considered. For severe gynecological and obstetric patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
