Patient's question:
I recently feel very uncomfortable all over, with increased white discharge that is yellow and has a bad odor. I also experience frequent abdominal pain. After checking, the doctor said I have appendicitis. I would like to ask what issues should generally be paid attention to after getting appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the situation you mentioned, the treatment for chronic appendicitis does not provide immediate results. Symptoms will gradually improve. The medication mainly involves the use of traditional Chinese medicine. When taking the medication, it is essential to maintain continuous use for at least one month. Never stop taking the medication just because the symptoms relieve, as they will recur shortly afterward. Physical therapy can be used in conjunction with medication. The benefits of physical therapy include reducing local edema, softening scars, promoting intestinal motility, and improving blood circulation, leading to significant improvements in localized conditions.Patients with this condition should first avoid excessive hot and pungent foods. In daily diet, it is important to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, greasy foods. Adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and other nutrients should be ensured, along with consuming more fruits and vegetables.
