Patient's question:
I suddenly felt some pain in my right abdomen yesterday and didn't know what the cause was. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it might be acute appendicitis on the right side, but couldn't be sure yet, asking me to wait and see. I don't know what symptoms this condition has.Doctor's answer:
Hello, acute appendicitis can be easily confused with acute adnexitis on the right side. It may present with mild periumbilical pain accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. The pain gradually intensifies and shifts to the right lower abdomen, becoming persistent, and the body temperature may rise.
