Patient's question:
I have been experiencing sudden fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain since last month. The pain is intermittent, sometimes only on one side of the abdomen or dull ache. It is also accompanied by symptoms such as increased leukorrhea, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. Can appendicitis cause abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis mainly manifests as downward abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and menstrual disorders. Your current condition cannot be ruled out as a possibility of appendicitis. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine which part of the appendix is inflamed. Once the condition is diagnosed, symptomatic treatment will yield good results. During treatment, it is advisable to avoid spicy, stimulating, beef, lamb, and seafood.In addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important during the treatment of appendicitis. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of appendicitis.
