Patient's question:
Last week, while I was working, I suddenly experienced severe pain in my lower abdomen. My colleague took me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor asked if my vaginal discharge had been abnormal recently, and I said yes. The doctor said my white blood cells were elevated, and so were my neutrophils, suggesting I had acute appendicitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of acute appendicitis are quite typical. Acute lower abdominal pain is the main symptom, and some patients may also experience fever, chills, a sense of heaviness, increased vaginal discharge, and elevated blood counts in some cases. During gynecological examination, acute appendicitis can present with significant tenderness and rebound tenderness.
