Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 23 years old this year. A few days ago, I felt unwell, so I went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said I had appendicitis. Now I have my period and don't know what to do. So, I would like to consult on how to treat appendicitis during the menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
Although it is during the menstrual period, appendicitis can also be treated. Oral Western medicine can be used, or intravenous Western medicine can be administered, such as cephalosporin antibiotics or metronidazole antibiotics, which can eliminate Gram-negative bacteria and prevent the recurrence of anaerobic bacteria. However, traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis should not be used. This type of medication can easily lead to an increase in menstrual flow and can only be used after the menstrual period has ended.
