What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
The symptoms of appendicitis include migratory pain to the lower right abdomen, with some patients directly experiencing pain in the lower right abdomen. This is because the appendix is located in the ileocecal area of the lower right abdomen, and the appendix cavity is connected to the cecum. When the appendix becomes inflamed, it manifests as pain in the lower right abdomen or migratory pain in the lower right abdomen. The inflammation of appendicitis is generally caused by a blockage in the appendix cavity due to a fecalith, limiting secretion, and bacterial growth within the appendix cavity. Therefore, it is generally recommended to start anti-inflammatory treatment for appendicitis as soon as possible. If the inflammation is severe, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to remove the appendix and completely cure the inflammation. The symptoms of appendicitis also appear as migratory pain in the lower right abdomen. A few patients may also experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. If the appendix perforates, symptoms include pain across the abdomen, tenderness, and abdominal muscle rigidity indicative of peritonitis.
