Patient's question:
What causes appendicitis? Could you please tell me what causes appendicitis? I've had pain on one side of my lower abdomen twice, and it's been hurting for several days. I mentioned the situation to my family, and my mom took me to the hospital for a check-up. They said it's appendicitis, but I'm not married and still in school. How could I get appendicitis? I want to ask what causes appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons for appendicitis, and the main ones are as follows:1. Long-term sitting posture, poor blood circulation in the lower limbs, affecting the normal detoxification function of the ovaries and appendages, leading to inflammation.
2. Frequently wearing tight pants or similar tight clothing, causing vaginal discharge to accumulate, leading to appendicitis due to vaginal inflammation.
3. Postpartum or after an abortion, due to weakened immunity, pathogens spread through the reproductive tract to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and then the entire pelvic cavity, causing inflammation.
4. Neglecting menstrual hygiene, such as sexual intercourse during menstruation or unclean sexual contact.
