Common treatments for appendicitis

Patient's question:

My sister has been experiencing lower abdominal pain since she got married, and this condition has been going on for a while. Later, she underwent a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as appendicitis. I would like to ask what the treatment for this disease is?

Doctor's answer:

I. Antibiotic Therapy: If symptoms are prominent, antibiotics should be used first for treatment. Antibiotics can eliminate residual pathogenic bacteria and prevent acute recurrence. The usage is the same as for acute tubo-ovarian abscess and pelvic peritonitis.
II. Physical Therapy: The beneficial effects of warmth can enhance pelvic blood circulation, aiding in the resolution and subsidence of inflammation. Common physical therapies include shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared radiation, audiofrequency, and iontophoresis.
III. Surgical Therapy: For larger adnexal inflammation caused by inflammation, surgical treatment may be feasible. In cases of recurrent acute adnexal inflammation where drug treatment is ineffective, the patient suffers greatly, and the patient is older, surgical treatment can also be considered.
