Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my left abdomen, sometimes with severe pain. About past treatment and its effectiveness: Not treated. What kind of help do you want: I want to know the symptoms of appendicitis, and what tests should be done if I go to the hospital for a thorough examination.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of appendicitis are somewhat similar. Generally, acute appendicitis has obvious symptoms, such as fever, chills, and severe lower abdominal pain. Chronic appendicitis has varying degrees of abdominal pain, or a sense of lower abdominal heaviness and pulling, which fluctuates in severity and may be accompanied by symptoms such as increased leukorrhea, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination, which mainly includes leukorrhea tests, manual examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging, with specific choices based on your actual condition. If you have any issues, you can contact me specifically. Best wishes!
