My acquaintance didn’t know it was appendicitis and thought it was simple abdominal pain, so I went to the hospital and said that if I had stayed a little longer, it would have gone to peritonitis. Not long ago, my right lower stomach hurt all day, so I thought it was an early symptom of appendicitis, and I was scared, so I hurriedly went to a nearby hospital for night treatment. Fortunately, it wasn’t appendicitis, but I was worried about what to do if I had appendicitis later.
So today, I would like to post a helpful post to learn about the early symptoms of appendicitis and to cope quickly with self-diagnosis. 맹장염 자가진단
What is Appendicitis? 좋은뉴스
Appendicitis, strictly speaking, is a disease in which the appendix attached to the end of the appendix becomes inflamed, and <appendicitis> is the correct name for the disease. The appendix and appendix are located about 5 cm from the navel to the lower right (about two-thirds of the belly button and the most protruding front bone of the pelvis), and the cause of appendicitis is not yet known. The most common treatment method is surgical removal.
early symptoms of appendicitis
In the case of appendicitis, since the symptoms appear in a variety of ways, there are cases where it is quickly discovered and treated.
Let’s summarize some of the early symptoms of appendicitis for quick response and self-diagnosis.
Abdominal pain and upset stomach
More than 95% of people with appendicitis feel abdominal pain, but in the beginning, it is said that it often comes as a stuffy symptom, such as a stomachache in the upper part of the abdomen around the navel. After a while, the pain is felt in the right lower part, but the pain part moves little by little and progresses, and the pain gradually gets stronger.
Anorexia, vomiting, fever
Among the early symptoms of appendicitis, which can appear, there are vomiting and nausea, which are said to be symptoms that appear in about 85% of patients with appendicitis. At this time, there may be fever symptoms along with pain, so it would be nice to be careful if you show these symptoms.
diarrhea
Early appendicitis is visceral pain that comes when the entrance to the appendix is blocked, and it feels stuffy, and at this time, stool or diarrhea may occur, so it is said that it is sometimes misunderstood as simple abdominal pain.
I have summarized about 3 early symptoms of appendicitis, but there are many symptoms similar to a general upset stomach, so I think that self-diagnosis of appendicitis will not be easy.
If there are symptoms such as vomiting, fever, and feeling of body sweats similar to an upset stomach, and vague pain in the upper abdomen begins at first and gradually moves to the right lower abdomen, it is likely appendicitis, so it would be good to visit a hospital.
And even if you don’t have the above symptoms, it could be appendicitis or another disease, so it would be better to visit a hospital and get treatment rather than self-diagnosing the symptoms alone.
