What are the symptoms of acute appendicitis?

In life, people will be exposed to some diseases due to many factors. These diseases will bring great pain to patients. Acute appendicitis is such a disease. This disease is very rare, but in recent years, the probability of occurrence of this disease has become increasingly higher. Many people do not know what symptoms this disease is, and do not know whether they have this disease. So, what are the symptoms of acute appendicitis?

First, what are the symptoms of acute appendicitis? The causes of acute nonspecific appendicitis are generally unknown, and may include a combination of factors such as environment, diet, lifestyle, genetics, immunity, and infection. At the beginning of appendicitis, there will be abdominal pain at irregular points, but most of the time it occurs near the navel or in the upper abdomen. This pain feels dull and moves to the right lower abdomen after a few hours. At this time, if you press the right abdomen with your hand, the pain will become more severe. In addition to obvious abdominal pain, some patients will experience poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and mild fever of about 38 degrees. The abdomen is flat, bowel sounds are weakened on auscultation, there is no obvious mobile dullness on percussion, the abdominal muscles are locally tense, and there is tenderness and rebound pain throughout the abdomen, especially about 2 cm above McBurney's point.

Second, the symptoms of acute appendicitis: mild abdominal pain to severe abdominal pain. Acute appendicitis will cause abdominal pain at irregular points in the beginning, but most of the time it occurs near the navel or in the upper abdomen. This pain feels dull, and if ignored, it will slowly move to the right lower abdomen after a few hours. At this time, if you press the right abdomen with your hand, the pain will become more severe. What is more special is that at this time you can try pressing the lower right abdomen and quickly release it. If you feel rebound pain, it may be appendicitis. The second symptom of acute appendicitis: symptoms ranging from nausea, vomiting to fever. Patients may also experience poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and some may have a mild fever (about 38 degrees). Some people may also have increased tongue coating, bad breath, or an increase in granular white blood cells. Some people may experience constipation, while others may have the opposite, with diarrhea and even blood in their excrement. Due to the variety of symptoms, it is more difficult to diagnose.

What are the symptoms of acute appendicitis? The third symptom of acute appendicitis: abscess or even perforation. At first, it may just be abdominal pain due to inflammation or obstruction of the appendix, but over time, it may lead to abscess or even perforation due to lack of treatment. Perforation usually occurs twenty-four to thirty-six hours after the onset of symptoms, but it may occur earlier in children or the elderly. The above is an introduction to the symptoms of acute appendicitis. In fact, any disease can be prevented, and appendicitis is no exception. As long as you pay more attention in daily life, it is entirely possible to prevent the onset of appendicitis.
