Appendicitis

Appendicitis typically does not directly cause frequent urination. However, in some cases, inflammation of the appendix can irritate nearby structures, including the bladder, potentially leading to increased urinary frequency. Additionally, the pain and discomfort associated with appendicitis may cause individuals to feel the urge to urinate more often. If someone experiences frequent urination alongside symptoms of appendicitis, they should seek medical attention for a proper evaluation.

Sophie: Partly it would depend on whether you had peritonitis or not (infection of peritoneal wall). If your appendix was caught before any further complications it might not be too bad but I dont know the effect on the fetus. It is now mid-January and how are you feeling. I had appendicitis that went undiagnosed at 8 1/2 months and was not found out until I had a c-section so I had a very difficult recovery, physically and emotionally. I felt that my birth experience was traumatic because of the undiagnosed appendicitis. You will probably do much better. Please let us know. Elaine in B.C.

if you have pains then you should probably go see a doctor cause you never know

Yes, anyone can regardless of age. The appendix bursting means the pus get into the rest of the stomach and will eventually turn things gangrene and give you blood poisoning.

An appendicitis is an infection of the small worm shaped organ attached to the intestines called the appendix.

Did you mean appendicitis?

If so, then Web MD has a good article on it:

"Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a 3 1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. No one is absolutely certain what the function of the appendix is. One thing we do know: We can live without it, without apparent consequences. Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to remove 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 (the peritoneum) that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics."

According to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/appendicitis/ ,

Most people with appendicitis have classic symptoms that a doctor can easily identify. The main symptom of appendicitis is abdominal pain. The abdominal pain usually * occurs suddenly, often causing a person to wake up at night * occurs before other symptoms * begins near the belly button and then moves lower and to the right * is new and unlike any pain felt before * gets worse in a matter of hours * gets worse when moving around, taking deep breaths, coughing, or sneezing Other symptoms of appendicitis may include * loss of appetite * nausea * vomiting * constipation or diarrhea * inability to pass gas * a low-grade fever that follows other symptoms * abdominal swelling * the feeling that passing stool will relieve discomfort Symptoms vary and can mimic other sources of abdominal pain, including * intestinal obstruction * inflammatory bowel disease * pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological disorders * intestinal adhesions * constipation"

Been there done that. It sarts on the right side and also can move into the middle of the belly next to the belly button. If it does this get help right away,because it can burst and cause some real serious problems.

Someone suffering from appendicitis will have extreme abdominal pain and will be puking very often. Diarrhea, Fatigue, and Lethargy are also common symptoms of Appendicitis, and if you or someone you know has pain in the lower right quadrant of their abdomen in coherence with the other symptoms, appendicitis may be the culprit.

right quadrant.

No. It could be a urinary tract infection. It could be an STD. It may have to do with your prostate. But not the appendix.

He doesn't. Tony does, however, contract the pneumonic plague in the 23rd episode of season two.

Your puke varies in color based upon what you eat.

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. The term Acute or Chronic refers to the amount of time the condition has been occurring. Acute conditions last for less then 6 months where as Chronic conditions last for 6 months or longer.

So to answer your question, yes they are the same, however saying "acute appendicitis" is a more specific term and would refer to appendicitis lasting less then 6 months. In almost all cases appendicitis is acute as the infection, inflammation and swelling of the tissue is a medical emergency in which the appendix must be removed before it bursts.

Usually untreated infection. If the appendix gets infected, it swells and causes the patient some pain. Left untreated, it can burst - releasing toxins into the abdomen, which can result in septicaemia.

appendicitis can be a very tricky thing to identify. a couple times people wont think its any pain worth going to your doctor or to the emergency room for, but the truth is many people die from this because they don't get it removed in time. not to scare you intentionally, but this is a serious matter. check with your doctor if you have the following symptoms:

right lower quadrant pain

nausea

diarrhea

back pain (more often in adults)

pain that feels like kidney pain

the last symptom is what trips people up all the time. a lot of times if your appendix is inflamed, it could twist back so it feels like kidney pain. that doesn't mean you definitely have appendicitis if your kidney hurts, but it never hurts just to check with your doctor.

now listen closely. IF THE PAIN GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR. another thing appendicitis does is goes away and comes back frequently. usually the pain will get worse throughout the week or month. even if it doesn't, you should always check. appendicitis can linger for up to about three months!! by that time, you should know somethings up and go to the ER or ask your doctor. don't freak out. you may not have appendicitis. but then again, always check.

i hope this information was helpful!

Yes. But shortly it will turn out to be very severe pain.

The test you're referring to is known as the "Blumberg sign" or rebound tenderness test. While it is not specifically performed by tapping the bottom of the foot, it involves pressing down on the abdomen and then quickly releasing to check for pain, which can indicate appendicitis. If pain occurs upon release, it may suggest peritoneal irritation, commonly associated with appendicitis.

The severe pain of appendicitis demands immediate attention, with in hours. It is least likely to get the pain of appendicitis for days or weeks.

The treatment of acute appendicitis is appendectomy. It is rarely possible in rural set up with poor population. So many times you have to go for conservative management. You have to give pain killers, I. V. antibiotics, anti-anaerobics like I. V. metronidazole and I.V. fluids. The condition usually get resolved within few days. You have to go for planned appendectomy in such case, after three to six weeks.
