While the exact cause of appendicitis is not always clear, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms. Prompt treatment can help prevent complications and ensure a successful recovery.
The medical treatment of appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix, a procedure known as an appendectomy. This is typically performed as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent complications such as a burst appendix and peritonitis. There are two types of appendectomy:
The type of surgery that is recommended will depend on the individual case and the preference of the surgeon.
In some cases, if the appendix has already burst, the surgeon may need to perform a more extensive procedure to clean out the abdomen and remove any infected tissue.
After surgery, patients are typically hospitalized for a few days to monitor their recovery and ensure that there are no complications. They may also be prescribed pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection.
In some cases, if the diagnosis of appendicitis is uncertain, antibiotics may be prescribed initially to see if the symptoms improve. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, surgery may still be necessary.
