What are the clinical symptoms of appendicitis?

Patient's question:

After giving birth, sometimes I feel a bloated sensation in my lower abdomen, and at other times, I feel a heavy sensation as if something is falling down. If I sit for too long during work hours, my waist also becomes very sore and aching. My menstrual cycle is relatively normal, and my vaginal discharge doesn't have a noticeable odor. I suspect I might have adnexitis!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, appendicitis is generally divided into acute and chronic types, and the symptoms of patients are also different. The typical symptoms of acute appendicitis are lower abdominal pain and fever, which vary slightly depending on the degree of inflammation. Chronic appendicitis, on the other hand, manifests as lower back and sacral soreness, a sense of heaviness, pain during intercourse, occasional low fever, and can recur repeatedly, worsening after exertion, intercourse, or menstruation. Some patients may have no symptoms at all. Appendicitis is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
