Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing swelling on both sides of my lower abdomen, with the right side being worse. 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 is appendicitis treated? What are the symptoms of appendicitis, and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is a common disease caused bymicroorganisms infiltrating the reproductive organs, leading to infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is divided into acute and chronic types. The symptoms of acute appendicitis are based on acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. During gynecological examinations, there is significant tenderness and rebound tenderness in the appendiceal region. Blood tests may show a decrease in white blood cells and a marked decrease in the proportion of neutrophils. Chronic appendicitis presents with varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. The chronic inflammation recurs repeatedly, persists for a long time, leading to pelvic congestion, fibrosis of connective tissues, and adhesion between pelvic organs. Patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal heaviness, pain, and lumbosacral soreness, which fluctuate in severity and are accompanied by increased leukorrhea, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders.
