What are the symptoms of appendicitis?

Patient's question:

I've been having frequent, inexplicable lower abdominal pain recently, accompanied by a sense of heaviness and fullness. My vaginal discharge has also been increasing more than usual, and sometimes I experience lower back pain—。My period didn't arrive on time this month either; it came several days later. My colleague said my symptoms might indicate appendicitis.

Doctor's answer:

Ladies, due to the complexity of the female reproductive system, it is not possible to make a complete diagnosis based on your current condition. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed ultrasound and a routine examination of vaginal discharge for accurate diagnosis. Avoid (blindly implementing treatment) as it may worsen the condition.
In daily life, pay attention to preventing colds. Try to eat less spicy, seafood, and irritating foods. Keep the external genital area clean and dry, and change underwear frequently. When using public restrooms, swimming pools, or bathtubs, take special precautions to prevent cross-infection and enhance your body's resistance.
If a patient is facing the harm of adnexitis (), we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid avoiding medical consultation. If adnexitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
