Appendicitis

It certainly would not help. If anything, it would irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause more pain. If you suspect appendicitis, you should be under the care of a physician. Appendicitis can worsen quickly, and if the appendix perforates you are looking at a prolonged stay in hospital, if not in the morgue.

In some cases people do have prophylactic appendectomies. (Where the appendix is removed just in case something goes wrong with it in the future). However, I have only ever heard of this being performed in a very niche group of patients - very ill, learning disabled children, who are generally immobile and not able to articulate their wishes to others (i.e are mute and not capable of any form of sign language). It is in these instances that a prophylactic appendectomy is actually quite a reasonable option - since the child cannot articulate that they feel ill/which bit is painful, the delay this may cause in finding and treating appendicitis could prove fatal. Prophylactic appendectomy negates this scenario.

I think only at the start I'm not sure but if you leave it to long it definitely hurts non stop. If you think you have it, get off the net and go to the doctors and see what they say.

Don't rely on the net for info the doctor is the only one who can refer you to what its get well soon hope every thing is OK.

if it is chill because i think you caught it out early!!!

Classic symptoms are: Moderate to severe pain usually starting first around the navel, moving later to right "iliac fossa" which is the part of your stomach next to your right hip bone. Often, high temperature and vomiting.

This is a medical emergency due to the danger of the appendix rupturing, so seek medical advice asap!

You feel like you have to use the bathroom and you might possibly have gas pains. You will begin to get the chills and will feel the urge to bend. Do not push in on right illium are as you could rupture the gland spilling the toxins into your bloodstream. Do not hesitate to call the ambulance. It is deadly.

Yes it can.

The appendix is a small vestigial single ended pouch which is attached to the intestine. Modern humans don't need this pouch and normally if it causes any issues it is routinely removed by an incision in the lower abdominal region.

Technically speaking appendicitis doesn't kill you since it is the swelling of the appendix, however if the appendix gets to the point where it swells sufficiently enough to rupture then this is called peritonitis and can cause blood poisoning and other complications by spilling the contents of the intestines into the body cavity.

The appendix can be inflamed but not enough to cause issues and this can last a lifetime without serious danger of death (However for safety most Doctors would recommend removal). This is called a "Rumbling appendix".

v58.75, aftercare following surgery to the teeth, oral cavity and digestive system (conditions classifiable to codes in 520-579) and since an umbilical hernia is coded at 551.1 and other codes in the 550 range, this code applies. -- Beth Johnson, MBA, BSN, RN, CRRN, HCS-D

Appendicitis can occur at any age. (deleted for vandalism by Funkychicken)

If the appendix bursts it's very dangerous. Infants, young children, and older adults are at highest risk. A ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and abscess. Peritonitis is a dangerous infection that happens when bacteria and other contents of the torn appendix leak into the abdomen. In people with appendicitis, an abscess usually takes the form of a swollen mass filled with fluid and bacteria. In a few patients, complications of appendicitis can lead to organ failure and death.

No one can tell when exactly the appendix will burst. It first has to be inflamed. This will usually cause pain, possibly nausea/vomiting, and fever. The pain will be located on the right side of your body, above your pubic bone and below your belly button. If you are having these symptoms, you should absolutely go to the hospital. They will run tests to make sure that you have appendicitis. If it does burst, you run the risk of getting peritonitis, which happens when all the nasty infected contents of the appendix leak out into the stomach cavity. This is extremely serious, and can be fatal. Most likely you will know when this happens, but one of the classic symptoms is a really hard stomach.

The chance of a person's appendix bursting, or rupturing, is relatively low. However, if a person has appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix, the risk of the appendix bursting increases. Appendicitis is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. If left untreated, the appendix can burst within 36 to 72 hours of the onset of symptoms. The risk of rupture is higher in people who have had appendicitis for a longer period of time before seeking medical attention.

There are several factors that can increase the risk of appendicitis and the likelihood of the appendix bursting. These include having a family history of appendicitis, being male (males are more likely to develop appendicitis than females), being between the ages of 10 and 30 (appendicitis is most common in this age group), and having certain medical conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

It's important to seek medical attention if you think you may have appendicitis. Early treatment can help prevent the appendix from bursting and can reduce the risk of complications.

Nothing.Its a natural thing so dont worry about it.

Appendictis occurs when there is a blockage of the appendix lumen. When this blockage occurs, the appendix becomes inflamed, and can become infected. If this continues to the point of rupture, and the appendix bursts, peritonitis can occur.

No. It is an inflammation of the appendix, a small part of the digestive system.

These include pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ovarian follicles, ruptured ovarian cysts, tubal pregnancies, and endometriosis. Various forms of stomach upset and bowel inflammation may also mimic appendicitis.

Some common symptoms of appendicitis include (but are not limited to): pain near the navel or abdomen region, loss of appetite, nausea/vomiting, abdominal swelling, fever, and inability to pass gas.

well if your appendix hurts, you should get it taken out. There are a few reasons it hurts one of them being to many toxins in there. In order to make it stop you HAVE to get it out, also making a possibility of you dieing.
