Appendicitis is treated by surgically removing the inflamed appendix, a procedure called appendectomy. Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred method today because it involves smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.

---- Overview ----

What Is Appendicitis?

Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small finger-shaped organ located in the lower right abdomen. The condition usually begins suddenly and worsens over a short period. Without prompt treatment, the appendix can rupture, leading to severe infection inside the abdomen.

Because appendicitis can progress rapidly, early diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential. At My Health Hospitals, Kukatpally, patients receive immediate evaluation and expert care.

Causes of Appendicitis

Appendicitis usually develops when the appendix becomes blocked, leading to bacterial growth, inflammation, and infection. Understanding the common causes helps in early recognition and timely treatment.

  • Hardened stool blocking the appendix opening
  • Enlarged lymphoid tissue following infections
  • Bacterial or viral gastrointestinal infections
  • Foreign bodies entering the appendix
  • Intestinal parasites
  • Rarely, tumors of the appendix

In many cases, the exact cause may not be clearly identified. Regardless of the cause, prompt medical evaluation is essential to prevent complications such as appendix rupture.

Symptoms of Appendicitis

Appendicitis often begins with mild discomfort that can quickly progress into severe abdominal pain. Recognizing symptoms early can prevent complications.

  • Sudden abdominal pain near the navel
  • Pain shifting to the lower right abdomen
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Low-grade fever
  • Abdominal swelling and tenderness
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Difficulty passing gas

Medical advice: Persistent or worsening abdominal pain should never be ignored and requires immediate medical evaluation.

How Is Appendicitis Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid rupture of the appendix and serious abdominal infection. Doctors use a combination of clinical examination and diagnostic tests.

  • Detailed physical examination of the abdomen
  • Blood tests to identify infection and inflammation
  • Urine tests to rule out urinary tract conditions
  • Ultrasound scan for initial evaluation
  • CT scan for precise confirmation and severity assessment

Appendicitis Treatment Options

The definitive treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy). The surgical approach depends on the stage and severity of the condition.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy

This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions and camera-guided instruments. It offers less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to normal activities.

Open Appendectomy

Open surgery may be required in complicated cases such as ruptured appendix, widespread infection, or abscess formation to ensure safe and complete treatment.
