Patient's question:
Hello, I am 32 years old. A few weeks ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I have appendicitis. How should I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
For patients with obvious symptoms, antibiotics should be used first for treatment. Antibiotics can eliminate residual pathogenic bacteria and prevent acute recurrence. Commonly used drugs still include penicillin, gentamicin, metronidazole, etc., with the same usage as in acute tubo-ovarian abscess and pelvic peritonitis. For larger tubal hydrops or tubo-ovarian cysts caused by inflammation, Fertility Transfer Surgical Therapy (FTST) can be performed. For infertility caused by tubal blockage, tubal reconstruction surgery can be considered. For chronic tubo-ovarian abscess and pelvic peritonitis with recurrent acute episodes, if drug treatment is ineffective and the patient suffers greatly, especially when the patient is older, surgical treatment can also be considered.
