Understanding Appendicitis — When Surgery is Needed
The appendix is a small, tube-like organ attached to the large intestine. When it becomes inflamed or infected, it causes appendicitis — a medical emergency requiring immediate surgical removal (appendectomy). Left untreated, an inflamed appendix can rupture, leading to life-threatening complications like peritonitis or abscesses.
Signs You Need Immediate Medical Attention
🚨 Emergency Appendicitis Symptoms:
- Severe pain starting around belly button, moving to lower right abdomen
- Pain worsens with movement, coughing, or pressing on the area
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fever (100°F to 101°F)
- Loss of appetite
- Inability to pass gas or have bowel movements
- Abdominal swelling or bloating
- Rapid heartbeat or difficulty breathing
If you experience these symptoms, especially severe abdominal pain, call Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar immediately at (+91) 98982 69932. Appendicitis is a surgical emergency that requires prompt treatment.
