Patient's question:
Doctor, could you please tell me, if I have appendicitis, which was detected through a PV test, but the color Doppler ultrasound says there are no abnormalities, can this confirm that I have appendicitis? The doctor treating me said it's not serious. Could you please tell me what medicine I should take to recover quickly? How long do I need to take the medicine to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello: If the ultrasound examination shows no problems, then your condition cannot be definitively diagnosed as appendicitis. Appendicitis is generally treated using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods. This typically involves traditional Chinese medicine (primarily focusing on promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis) combined with Western medicine (mainly antibiotics). Physical therapy options, such as laser, microwave, or iontophoresis, can also be considered for treatment.In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between rest and activity, increase nutrition, and exercise regularly to enhance overall immunity. Simply administering antibiotics is not effective; it should be combined with anti-inflammatory and anti-adhesion medications (e.g., intramuscular administration of trypsin, or even the use of hormones).
