Patient's question:
I have been having stomach pain recently, and it gets worse when I press on it. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have appendicitis. I'm a bit worried because I'm not married yet and have this disease. So, I want to consult about how to treat appendicitis properly.Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic appendicitis does not show immediate results with medication; symptoms will gradually subside. During the course of medication, never feel that the symptoms have improved and stop taking the medication, as it will recur soon after. Therefore, physical therapy is often used in the treatment of appendicitis. The effects of physical therapy can help dissipate local edema, soften scars, promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance blood circulation, and improve the condition of the affected area effectively.
