APPENDICITIS is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped organ located in the lower right area of the abdomen. This condition typically occurs when the appendix becomes blocked, usually by fecal matter, foreign objects, or infections, leading to bacterial overgrowth and subsequent inflammation.
The symptoms of appendicitis commonly include sudden and severe abdominal pain that starts near the belly button and then migrates to the lower right side of the abdomen. The pain may worsen with movement, coughing, or sneezing. Other signs and symptoms may involve loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, and a low-grade fever.
In some cases, appendicitis can progress to a more severe condition known as appendiceal rupture or perforation. This occurs when the inflamed appendix ruptures, allowing bacteria to spread into the abdominal cavity, potentially leading to a serious and potentially life-threatening infection. As such, appendicitis is considered a medical emergency, requiring immediate treatment, often in the form of surgery to remove the inflamed appendix, known as an appendectomy.
Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent complications, and early diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing appendicitis effectively.
