Patient's question:
I recently feel very uncomfortable all over, with increased white discharge that is yellow and has a bad odor. I also frequently experience abdominal pain. After checking, the doctor said I have appendicitis. I would like to ask what issues should generally be paid attention to after getting appendicitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the situation you mentioned, the treatment for chronic appendicitis does not provide immediate results; symptoms will gradually improve. The medication primarily involves the use of traditional Chinese medicine. When taking the medication, it is essential to maintain continuous use for at least one month. Never stop taking the medication just because symptoms, as they will likely recur shortly after. Physical therapy can be used in conjunction with medication. The benefits of physical therapy include reducing local edema, softening scars, promoting intestinal motility, and improving blood circulation, leading to significant improvement in localized conditions.Patients with this condition should first avoid excessive hot and pungent foods. In daily diet, it is important to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, greasy foods. Adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and other nutrients should be ensured, along with consuming more vegetables and fruits.
