Is appendicitis contagious?

Appendicitis brings great pain to the body. First of all, appendicitis can cause pain in the appendix and abdominal pain. When the pain reaches a certain degree of severity, it can cause intestinal perforation. Therefore, although this disease will not spread, it will cause great harm to the patient's body. We must have a correct understanding of appendicitis and choose appropriate methods to do a good job of prevention. As a patient, we should pay attention to the most basic treatment of appendicitis in normal times.

Steps/Methods:

1. First of all, if our patients' acute appendicitis is not treated early, appendicitis perforation and suppuration will occur, causing serious complications such as diffuse peritonitis. The mortality rate is very high. Patients who survive by chance often suffer from intestinal obstruction due to intestinal adhesions, and the patients are in great pain.

2. In addition, acute appendicitis is a gradual onset of dull pain in the upper abdomen or around the navel. After a few hours, the abdominal pain shifts to the right lower abdomen, often accompanied by loss of appetite and nausea or vomiting. Acute appendicitis also carries the risk of death. If diffuse peritonitis occurs, the harm will be even greater.

3. Also, our patients’ gastrointestinal activity is temporarily stopped after intestinal surgery, and the food and water that enter the gastrointestinal tract cannot go down. They accumulate in the stomach of our patients and cause abdominal distension. Therefore, they cannot eat or drink after the operation and have to wait until the gastrointestinal activity is restored before eating.

Note:

Finally, we want to talk about the disease of acute appendicitis. The harm is very serious. No matter what causes this disease, it is very important to pay special attention to active treatment.
