Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year and have lower back pain. The hospital said it was appendicitis. What are the symptoms of appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is a common disease wheremicroorganisms infiltrate the reproductive organs, leading to infections in the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is divided into acute and chronic types. Acute appendicitis has obvious symptoms, such as fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain. Chronic appendicitis presents with varying degrees of abdominal pain, or a sense of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, which fluctuates in intensity, accompanied by symptoms like increased vaginal discharge, lower back pain, and menstrual irregularities. Given your current symptoms of lower back pain, appendicitis is a possible cause. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis before treatment. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods.During the treatment of appendicitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important.
