Best Appendicitis Treatment in Chennai

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It may be acute or chronic. Appendicitis occurs most often between the ages of 10 and 30. It is most common in women rather than in men. Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to cut out  the appendix. Left untreated, an inflamed appendix will eventually burst, or perforate, spilling infectious materials into the abdominal cavity. This can lead to peritonitis, a serious inflammation of the abdominal cavity's lining that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics.

Symptoms of appendicitis include:

• lower right side abdominal pain
• loss of appetite
• diarrhea
• nausea
• vomiting
• constipation
• inability to pass gas
• abdominal swelling
• low grade fever
• a sense you might feel better after passing stool

However, one third to a half of persons do not have these typical signs and symptoms.

How Appendicitis Treated?

The treatment for appendicitis varies in different cases. In some cases, appendicitis may get better without surgery. Treatment might involve only a liquid diet and antibiotics. In most cases, the surgery will be necessary. The type of surgery will depend on the details of your case.

Is Appendicitis Preventable?

Appendicitis cannot be prevented. However, it is less common in people who have diets high in fiber. This includes diets which contain lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you think you have appendicitis, then seek medical attention immediately. Untreated appendicitis can become a medical emergency.
