Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing lower abdominal heaviness and distension recently, along with foul-smelling vaginal discharge and mild fever. How should I treat appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to appendicitis, everyone is certainly very familiar with it. However, where exactly does appendicitis occur? Some people may not be entirely clear. In fact, within a woman's reproductive system, structures like the fallopian tubes and ovaries are collectively referred to as "uterine appendages." If these organs develop inflammation again, it is then called appendicitis. Some common surgeries, such as dilation and curettage (D&C), hysterosalpingography (HSG), and cervical canal surgery, are certainly very familiar to everyone. However, if these surgeries are not performed with strict and standardized sterilization measures, it can easily lead to reinfection and inflammation in women.
