What are the symptoms of acute appendicitis?

Patient's question:

I started feeling lower abdominal bloating and pain three days ago, and there was some black, sticky discharge from my vagina with a slightly unpleasant odor. I felt weak in my legs and had no energy when walking. At night, I had a low fever. After going to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with acute adnexitis.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the symptoms of acute adnexitis are primarily characterized by acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. During gynecological examinations, there is significant tenderness and rebound tenderness in the adnexal region. Blood tests can show elevated white blood cell counts with a marked increase in neutrophil proportion.
Symptoms of adnexitis: If acute adnexitis is not treated promptly or thoroughly, it can progress to chronic adnexitis. Oral antibiotics, combined with topical medications, can help alleviate and eliminate inflammation.
