Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing swelling on both sides of my lower abdomen, with the right side being more severe. I also feel discomfort on the inner thigh and a heavy sensation in my lower back. After examination, it was found to be appendicitis. How should appendicitis be treated? What is the treatment for appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is a very harmful disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to female infertility again. Therefore, if symptoms of appendicitis reappear, treatment should be initiated immediately. There are various treatment methods for appendicitis, including commonly used drug therapy and physical therapy. Drug therapy primarily refers to antibiotic treatment, which is generally used for the treatment of acute appendicitis. Although it has few side effects on the body and will not cause any sequelae, the treatment itself has a long treatment cycle and requires several courses of treatment before it can heal on its own. This places certain demands on the patient's financial conditions and perseverance.
