What should I do if I have appendicitis?

Patient's question:

After my painless abortion on February 14th, I've been experiencing some pain in the lower abdomen. On March 7th, I visited a doctor. The ultrasound showed a nearly MM-sized anechoic area in the uterine cavity, with a linear shape, internal homogeneous dark area, and clear boundaries. No obvious abnormalities were observed in the bilateral adnexa. The Pouch of Douglas showed a liquid dark area with a maximum anteroposterior diameter of 16 MM.

Doctor's answer:

Appendicitis is a common gynecological disease, often causing lower abdominal heaviness, pain, and lower back pain in women. It usually worsens during physical exertion or around the menstrual period. At times, it may even be accompanied by high fever, headache, and lower abdominal pain, severely interfering with a woman's daily work and life. Appendicitis does not respond immediately to medication; symptoms gradually subside. When taking these medications, it is essential to maintain continuous use for at least one month.
