Why can you still get appendicitis?
According to Dr. Yu, appendicitis is a common saying among the public, and more actual cases should be appendicitis.
The reason why it is called "appendicitis", because the cecum is a blind end of the intestine, and the appendix is close to the cecum, the two are very close to each other. The normal appendix is about 6-7 cm long and 5-6 cm wide.
Dr. Yu said that after normal people eat, it takes several hours for the food to reach the appendix, so postprandial exercise usually does not cause inflammation of the appendix.
Dr. Yu also warned: although postprandial exercise will not cause appendicitis, strenuous exercise will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting and other symptoms.
What causes appendicitis?
According to Dr. Yu, there are possible inducing factors of appendicitis and poor intestinal smoothness.
Postprandial exercise promotes intestinal peristalsis, so it does not cause appendicitis; instead, it does not move, or usually less than exercise, constipation, may get appendicitis.
Dr. Yu suggested
You can go for a walk after dinner.
Moderate exercise
It helps to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
Reduce the risk of appendicitis
Except for abdominal pain.
What other symptoms does appendicitis have?
According to Dr. Yu, the initial symptom of appendicitis is not abdominal pain, but can make patients feel uncomfortable in the stomach, including abdominal distension and nausea, which is often referred to as "visceral pain."
This is the initial stage of inflammation, you should go to internal medicine or digestive department to see a doctor in time.
If you do not see a doctor in time, but take your own medicine to relieve stomach discomfort, after a few hours, the inflammation of the appendix will continue to occur earlier than it has not been controlled, and edema will appear, and the infection will be further aggravated. At this time, the appendix will stimulate the abdominal wall of the right lower abdomen and produce metastatic lower right abdominal pain.
The attack process of appendicitis
That is, from the beginning of the middle and upper abdominal discomfort.
Transfer to the right lower abdomen
Stomachache--
Which department should I hang up for medical treatment?
Dr Yu suggested:
Middle and upper abdominal discomfort, see internal medicine
Right upper abdominal discomfort, see hepatobiliary department
Right lower abdominal discomfort, see gastrointestinal surgery.
Treatment of appendicitis
According to Dr. Yu, first of all, through ultrasound examination to find out whether the appendix is inflamed and whether there is edema; through CT examination, you can also see the environment around the appendix and the entire abdomen, because the right lower abdominal pain is not only the possibility of appendicitis, but also pain caused by appendicitis or intestinal tumors.
Then, the doctor will make a comprehensive judgment according to the patient's pain and examination results, and give a better and better choice of treatment:
Mild appendicitis can be conservatively treated and antibiotics are taken to reduce inflammation.
Appendicitis is more serious and needs surgical treatment.
Remove the appendix before the inflammation.
Is it possible?
Dr. Yu said that the existence of the appendix is certainly useful, although it is very inconspicuous, it is also an immune organ and a place for intestinal flora.
Dr. Yu said that when in children or teenagers, the immune effect of the appendix is relatively good, with the growth of age, its physiological function will degenerate, if the appendix inflammation, can be removed.
