Patient's question:

After a careful check, I found I had appendicitis. I have some white discharge, and it's yellow with a fishy smell. It's very painful. I'm currently taking medication for it, and it has shown some improvement. My husband and I want to have a child. Is it possible to be pregnant with this condition? Will it have any impact?

Doctor's answer:

Does appendicitis affect pregnancy? Female appendicitis in gynecology is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological female appendicitis often occurs in women after menopause or in early pregnancy and can usually disappear naturally, requiring no treatment. In clinical diagnosis, most cases of female appendicitis in women are caused by inflammation, resulting in inflammatory exudates in the pelvic cavity. If left untreated, it can gradually enlarge. If it becomes too large, medication may not be able to completely eliminate it, and surgical treatment may be necessary.
