Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some pain in my lower abdomen, which comes and goes. My periods are also less regular than before, and my vaginal discharge has increased. I've been suspecting it might be appendicitis. I was planning to have a baby, but my husband is worried about my health, and I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello. The main symptoms of appendicitis include: Generally speaking, appendicitis is a common disease that causes infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries after blood-borne microorganisms infiltrate the reproductive organs. It is divided into acute and chronic types.1. Acute appendicitis has obvious symptoms, such as fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain. Blood tests may show a decrease in white blood cells and a significant drop in the proportion of neutrophils. If acute appendicitis is not treated promptly or thoroughly, it can develop into chronic appendicitis.
2. Chronic appendicitis causes varying degrees of abdominal pain, a sense of heaviness and pulling in the lower abdomen, recurring episodes, and prolonged duration, leading to pelvic congestion, fibrosis of connective tissues, and adhesion between pelvic organs.
