Understanding Appendicitis — When Surgery is Needed
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small tube attached to the large intestine. Located in the lower right abdomen, an inflamed appendix requires immediate surgical removal (appendectomy) to prevent life-threatening complications like perforation or peritonitis.
The appendix serves no essential function in modern humans, making its removal safe and necessary when infected. Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar specializes in both traditional open and advanced laparoscopic appendix surgery, offering patients from Nadiad the best treatment options at Gastroplus Hospital, Ahmedabad.
Appendicitis Symptoms — When to Seek Emergency Care
Call Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar immediately if you experience:
- Sudden pain starting around navel, shifting to lower right abdomen
- Pain worsens with movement, coughing, or walking
- Nausea and vomiting after abdominal pain starts
- Loss of appetite
- Low-grade fever (99-102°F) that may worsen
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Abdominal bloating and gas
- Unable to pass gas comfortably
- Tenderness when pressing lower right abdomen
- Pain relief when pressure is released (rebound tenderness)
⚠️ Seek immediate emergency care if fever exceeds 102°F or pain becomes severe — this may indicate appendix rupture.
