What are the causes of appendicitis?

Patient's question:

Lower abdominal pain, severe pain during menstruation, tried many Chinese and Western medicine, but nothing works.

Doctor's answer:

Sexual activity and related factors, such as the use of contraceptives, miscarriage, or childbirth, can all provide opportunities for pathogens to invade and cause appendicitis. Many women contract it after marriage, such as those who use intrauterine devices but neglect personal hygiene, making it easy for bacteria to enter; or during menstruation, bacteria are introduced; or after childbirth or miscarriage, when resistance decreases, pathogens travel upwards through the reproductive tract, spreading to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, eventually affecting the entire pelvic cavity; or after infections with sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, pathogens spread along the mucous membranes upward, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
