This is very individual. Each case must be evaluated seperatly.The surgeon combines information from clinical investigation, lab results and imaging before deciding what to do. A generally accepted method is the Alvarado score, where a score of 9+/10 means surgery, 7-8 means you can (but don't have to) wait, less than 6 means it isn't an appendicitis. Once the diagnosis of appendicitis is confirmed, patients are usually operated as soon as it can be arranged (when the OR is free). An appendicitis is not an extremely urgent matter though, so if needed, it can wait up to 24 hours (though the waiting time may not be comfortable for the patient).

My family has had there appendix bursting alot now so i can answer this question. If your appendix bursts you can barely stand up straight and you puke alot and if you dont get it fixed it will make you have an infection cus the appendix holds the bateria and stuff so it will become infected and you will get really sick and it could event to fatal death.

Yes. You can get acute appendicitis due to guava seeds or seed of orange. At times the seed lodge in the lumen of the appendix and cause acute appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis is most common acute abdominal emergency.

it may cause more damage

No, you cannot die from having your appendix removed as long as the surgery follows proper procedure, involves no complications, is timely and precedes proper post-operative care. The appendix holds non-vital status with the tonsils as parts that the body does not need for proper functioning and survival. Its removal must be a procedure in the hands of a capable surgical staff and of competent post-operative caregivers.

You do not catch appendicitis from other people.

The pain of appendicitis is felt at the umbilicus. Appendix lies in right iliac fossa. So this is referred pain.

You do not diagnose the appendicitis on blood report. The diagnosis is mostly clinical. Ultrasound examination will help out in doubtful cases.

You can have appendicitis and no pain or you could have an appendicitis with a lot of pain. When i had appendicitis about a month ago i have some pain but it was not that bad that i couldn't walk or anything like that but the surgeon that did my operation said that some people have appendicitis and can not feel any pain but he also said that some people have really bad pain and have nothing wrong with them.

Raise the right leg and hit the bottom of the foot with firm pressure. If subject experiences great pain-rush to hospital. This is symptomatic of appendicitis and could be at risk of bursting.

Not so well managed appendicitis can lead to appendicular mass. It is very difficult situation. Some times it resolve and some times it leads to suppuration. You have to drain the abscess and put the drain to take out the pus. You have to give antibiotic cover in such case. Every physician prays to God to prevent this condition.

you get appendicitis when there is an infection in your appendix. you can cure it by getting your appendix removed. it can save your life. i had appendicitis and if you have the infection too long you could die. i was going to but then i got surgery just in time

The appendix lies in the right iliac fossa. Not on the left lower side of the abdomen. Unless you have reverse position of the abdominal organs. So your pain is not likely to be of the appendicitis. Your physician will diagnose it. He may go for ultrasound examination of the abdomen.

You can check a doctor or surgeons record by visiting the website: www.ncmedicalboard.com or whatever state you are from or where the doctor is practicing. You then just follow the online instructions to find the answer that you need.
