Patient's question:
Wondering what symptoms are associated with appendicitis. I don't know if I have appendicitis. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very afraid it will affect my fertility, and I'm extremely afraid of cold and coldness. Please ask.Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is a common disease caused by the penetration of blood-borne pathogens into the reproductive organs, leading to infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is divided into acute and chronic forms.1. 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 leukopenia and a marked decrease in the proportion of neutrophils. If acute appendicitis is not treated promptly or thoroughly, it can progress to chronic appendicitis.
2. The symptoms of chronic appendicitis Chronic inflammation recurs repeatedly over time, leading to pelvic congestion, fibrosis of connective tissues, and adhesion between pelvic organs. The symptoms of chronic appendicitis include recurrent lower abdominal heaviness, pain, and lumbosacral discomfort. These symptoms often worsen during menstruation or after physical exertion.
