What is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is a common but serious medical condition caused by inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It typically occurs when the appendix becomes blocked by stool, infection, or swelling, leading to bacterial growth and inflammation. If left untreated, appendicitis can rupture and cause life-threatening complications such as peritonitis.
What are the symptoms of Appendicitis?
The most common symptom is sudden pain that begins around the navel and shifts to the lower right abdomen. Other symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal swelling. Early diagnosis is essential because prompt surgical intervention can prevent complications and ensure faster recovery.
