Acute Appendicitis

Acute appendicitis occurs in all age groups. The cause of the disease is the inflammation of the appendix. Acute appendicitis begins suddenly with sharp pain which is at first felt in epigastrium but then becomes generalized in the abdomen. The pain is accompanied by nausea, retention of stools and gases.

With the development of the disease temperature rises and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate becomes increased. The pulse is quick. The tongue is coated and dry.

The attack of acute appendicitis lasts for 3-4 days. Then the temperature returns to normal, abdominal pains decrease and only a moderate tenderness is felt in the right lower part of the abdomen on palpation.

A doctor treats acute appendicitis surgically. He performs an operation under local anaesthesia and removes the appendix to prevent its rupture which may result in peritonitis.
