Appendicitis
The appendix is a small
outgrowth of tissue forming a lube-shaped sac attached to the lower
end of the large intestine. Inflammation of the appendix presents
itself in acute and chronic forms and affects both the sexes
equally. This disease accounts for about half the acute abdominal
emergencies occurring between the ages of ten and thirty.
Appendicitis usually
begins with a sudden pain in the centre of the abdomen. The pain may
be preceded by general discomfort in the abdomen, indigestion,
diarrhea, or constipation. Gradually, the pain shifts to the lower
right side, and is usually accompanied by a fever varying from 38 C
to 39 C. Nausea is common and the patient may vomit once or twice.
In the chronic state of appendicitis, the patient may suffer from
recurrent pain in the right lower abdomen, constipation, loss of
appetite, and mild nausea.
Appendicitis is
initialed by the presence of an excessive amount of poisonous waste
material in the caecum. As a result, the appendix gets irritated and
inflamed. Inflammation and infection are caused by certain germs
which are usually present in the intestinal tract.
When pains as described above are
experienced, the patient is advised to consult a doctor immediately.
This remedies should be taken only in consultation with a
doctor.
