Appendicitis: treatment
Appendicitis is the inflammation of a sac-like organ between the large and small intestines called the appendix. Inflammation can be caused by either obstruction or infection and is very susceptible to bursting if not treated. Common symptoms are abdominal pain the navel to the right lower quadrant and rebound tenderness. If you have been diagnosed with appendicitis, expect the following medical management or treatment measures.
- Surgery, specifically appendectomy, is used to remove the inflamed appendix. This is done when the appendix is very likely to burst, to prevent contamination of the abdomen with gastrointestinal contents.
- Draining of the abscess is done when the appendix develops in the pocket or sac of pus that is in danger of seeping through to the abdomen.
- Antibiotics will be given to prevent any further infection and to control the infection of the appendix.
