Appendicitis Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by atoluwash(m) : 11:28 am On Nov 14, 2017 |
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Symptoms commonly include lower abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and diminished appetite. However, approximately 40 percent of people don't have these typical symptoms. Serious complications of a ruptured appendix include prevalent, debilitating inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall and sepsis.
Appendicitis is caused by a blockage of this hollow part of their appendix. This is most commonly because of calcified "rock" made of stool. Inflamed lymphoid tissue in the viral disease, parasites, gallstone, or tumorscan also make the blockage. This blockage leads to increased stresses from the appendix, decreased blood into the cells of the appendix, and bacterial growth within the appendix inducing inflammation. The combo of inflammation, decreased blood circulation into the appendix along with distention of this appendix induces tissue injury and tissue death. Whether this course of action is left untreated, the appendix can burst, releasing bacteria into the gut cavity, resulting in increased complications. Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen. The appendix doesn't seem to have a specific purpose. Appendicitis causes pain in your lower right abdomen. However, in most people, pain begins around the navel and then moves. As inflammation worsens, appendicitis pain typically increases and eventually becomes severe.  Although anyone can develop appendicitis, most often it occurs in people between the ages of 10 and 30. Standard treatment is surgical removal of the appendix. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of appendicitis may include: Sudden pain that begins on the right side of the lower abdomen Sudden pain that begins around your navel and often shifts to your lower right abdomen Pain that worsens if you cough, walk or make other jarring movements Nausea and vomiting Loss of appetite Low-grade fever that may worsen as the illness progresses Constipation or diarrhea Abdominal bloating  The site of your pain may vary, depending on your age and the position of your appendix. When you're pregnant, the pain may seem to come from your upper abdomen because your appendix is higher during pregnancy. Causes A congestion at the lining of this appendix which ends in disease is the possible source of appendicitis. The bacteria multiply quickly, causing the appendix to become inflamed, swollen and full of pus. If not treated immediately, the appendix can rupture.
