What should I do if I have appendicitis during pregnancy

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should I do if I have appendicitis during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Appendicitis in the early stage is generally treated with intravenous antibiotics. If it becomes purulent, surgical treatment should be considered. Typical clinical manifestations include pain in the upper abdomen and around the umbilicus. Most women experience no reaction after taking the medication, but a small number of women may have spotting or menstrual-like bleeding during the medication period. This abnormal vaginal bleeding is called "breakthrough bleeding." The possibility of pregnancy is unlikely. It is recommended to visit the hospital for examination and diagnosis to rule out other organic diseases. Wishing you good health!
