What should I do if I have acute suppurative appendicitis with perforation?

In life, many people do not pay attention to right abdominal pain, thinking that it will be fine if they just endure it. Some people will take painkillers to relieve the pain. In fact, this is a wrong approach. In this case, you should go to the hospital for a clear examination in time. If you take medicine on your own at home, it may delay the disease and lead to the discovery of complications. Especially acute suppurative appendicitis perforation is a very serious disease and requires immediate hospitalization.

What should I do if appendicitis becomes purulent and perforated?

01

Generally speaking, it takes a long time for the appendix to become inflamed and perforated, usually within 24 hours. However, in some patients with acute appendicitis, the disease progresses very rapidly, and the appendix perforates within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. Therefore, the importance of early medical attention, early diagnosis and timely surgery should be emphasized for acute appendicitis.

02

The general treatment method is to insert a drainage tube near the incision after surgery, use the drainage tube to drain pus, and treat with anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time. I also had acute appendicitis perforation. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days, had surgery for 1 day, and had intubation and drainage for 3 days and then I was fine.

03

In short, after suffering from acute appendicitis, you should be alert to the serious consequences of perforation and peritonitis. Acute appendicitis is by no means a minor illness that can be taken lightly. Early medical attention, early diagnosis and timely surgery are currently the main means of preventing and treating acute appendicitis perforation. I hope the above can help you.

Note:

Do not drink alcohol and avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods. Eat less fried and indigestible foods. At the same time, avoid overeating and eat small meals frequently. Prevent excessive fatigue, because overwork will reduce the body's resistance to disease and cause a sudden worsening of the condition.
