Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How effective is the treatment for appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
The key to treating acute appendicitis lies in using effective antibiotics with sufficient dosage and adequate duration of treatment—do not stop just because symptoms improve. The treatment of chronic appendicitis is more challenging. It is advisable to adopt a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, as well as physical therapy. Simply relying on antibiotics is ineffective; anti-inflammatory and adhesion-reducing medications should be used in coordination. For example, intramuscular administration of trypsin, even the use of hormones, oral Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove stagnation, and physical therapy. In addition to standard treatment for appendicitis, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
