Home>> Appendicitis
Appendicitis is nothing but an inflammation of a 3 ½ inch long tissue i.e. the appendix,which extends from the large intestine. No one knows what the appendix actually does. Appendicitis is manageable provided, you visit the physician at the appropriate time before things get worse.
Sometimes, the inflammation is very severe and the appendix can eventually burst, leaving behind infectious pus, in your abdominal cavity. This can invariably lead to a more serious inflammation namely the peritonitis and can be fatal in the worst circumstances.
A pus filled abscess can also be caused by the inflammation of the appendix.
Appendicitis often occurs when the lumen of the appendix is blocked by a foreign body, stools or tumour. Blockage can also occur from any other infection in the abdominal cavity, which causes enlargement of lymphoid tissues.
A diagnosis of appendicitis is mainly clinical and proper history from you and thorough clinical examination will help your physician reach a diagnosis. Sometimes it’s a tricky affair. The symptoms, as stated above, can be similar to that of a gall bladder infection or urinary tract infection or that of an intestinal disorder and in females may mimic ovarian problems However, you may have to perform these tests, in order to diagnose appendicitis
As far as appendicitis is concerned, surgery is the treatment to remove the appendix. You cannot afford to have the inflamed appendix get ruptured, which can lead to serious consequences.
