The appendix is a small and finger-shaped organ that extends from the large intestine. It finds its place in the abdomen in the lower part. To date, the appendix is believed not to have any significant function. However, in the case of appendix rupture, it requires treatment for the infected material to be drained out and disinfection of the abdominal cavity. It can easily be diagnosed through a simple ultrasound.

The causes of the concern include the interior appendix filled with mucus, bacteria, parasites, foreign material, and hard stools. It results in swelling in the appendix which further results in inflammation and irritation. It can lead to a leak which can cause an abscess or generalized infection of the abdomen.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The doctors begin with understanding your history and signs and symptoms, thereby go-ahead to conduct a deepened examination of your abdomen.

There are different tests and procedures which are used to diagnose Appendicitis which are as follows:

Physical Examination

The doctor will apply gentle pressure in the area of pain. Often in Appendicitis, the pain will worsen when the pressure is released, signaling the adjacent peritoneum’s inflammation.

They may check for abdominal rigidity and the stiffening of abdominal muscles. Often the doctor may opt for a lower rectum examination too. For this, they will use a glove and lubrication to check the lower rectum.

• Blood Test: A high level of white blood cells often indicates inflammation
• Urine test: This will signal if there is any urinary tract infection or kidney stone. It is to ensure that any other reason does not cause the pain.
• Imaging Tests: Doctors may recommend an abdominal X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, MRI, CT scan to confirm the presence of Appendicitis.

Treatment

There are different ways of treating Appendicitis. These are as follows:

Surgical method to remove the appendix

Also known as Appendectomy, it is a form of open laparoscopic Surgery. An abdominal incision of about 2 to 4 inches long (laparotomy) is created on the abdomen. During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts a video camera and special surgical tools inside the abdomen to eliminate the appendix.

laparoscopic Surgery allows quick recovery, lesser scar, and faster healing. It is recommended for elderly and obese people. However, laparoscopic surgery is not appropriate for everyone. If the infection has spread to other parts beyond the appendix, you may require an Appendectomy wherein the surgeon will clean the abdominal cavity.

Draining the abscess before conducting appendix Laparoscopic Surgery

This is done especially when the appendix has burst and an abscess has been formed. Herein, the abscess may be drained by placing a tube inside the skin to the abscess. Herein, the procedure of Appendectomy is performed only after the infection is removed.

You should contact your doctor if any of the symptoms mentioned above develop after having a laparoscopy

Lifestyle and Home-Based remedies

• After the Appendectomy, the patient must be too vigilant and extra care to fasten the recovery process. Here are few home remedies to heal your body.
• Completely avoid indulging in strenuous activities. Limit your activity at least for 3 to 5 days post the operation. On the other hand, in open Appendectomy, you must not indulge in any activity for around 10 to 14 days. Consult your doctor before getting back to resuming normal mundane work.
• Coughing can strain your stomach and thereby affect the surgical process. Place a pillow on the stomach and apply pressure before you laugh or cough to reduce pain.
• The pain escalates stress that indirectly slows down the healing process. Herein, if your medications are not effective, then do consult a doctor.
• Begin to get back to your normal daily activities slowly. Start with slow walks in a short distance.
• Do not strain yourself. Appendectomy can make you feel sleepier when compared to other days. Herein, do not cringe in taking rest when required.

Laparoscopic Appendix Treatment Recovery

Your recovery time depends on the type of surgery you had. If you had laparoscopic surgery, you will probably be able to return to work or a normal routine 1 to 3 weeks after surgery.

Preparing for your appointments

Never avoid signs. Your mind knows when there is something amiss. Thus, do not shy away from booking your appointment with a doctor. If you are experiencing any pain in the abdomen, you should see a doctor. Ask the doctor for directions as to what should be done before taking any test.

List out the following:
