Appendicitis: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Surgical Treatment
Symptoms of Appendicitis
Appendicitis is one of the most common reasons people rush to the emergency room, yet it is often misunderstood or overlooked until the pain becomes unbearable. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as a ruptured appendix, which can be life-threatening. Knowing the symptoms, diagnosis methods, and surgical treatment options can help save lives.
At Rishitha Hospitals, our team of general surgeons and emergency specialists is equipped with advanced facilities to diagnose and treat appendicitis with precision and care.
Early recognition of appendicitis is crucial. Some common signs include:
- Sudden pain in the lower right side of the abdomen
- Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or sneezing
- Nausea or vomiting
- Low-grade fever
- Constipation or diarrhoea
How Appendicitis is Diagnosed
At Rishitha Hospitals, doctors use a combination of medical history, physical examination, and advanced imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis:
- Blood tests to check for infection
- Ultrasound or CT scans for a clear view of the appendix
- Physical examination for tenderness in the abdominal area
Surgical Treatment for Appendicitis
The most effective treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix, known as an appendectomy. Depending on the patient’s condition, our general surgery specialists may recommend:
1.Laparoscopic Surgery – A minimally invasive approach using small incisions, offering faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
2. Open Surgery – Recommended in complicated cases, especially if the appendix has ruptured or if there is widespread infection.
Our best general surgeons in Hyderabad at Rishitha Hospitals specialise in both laparoscopic and open procedures, ensuring safe and effective outcomes.
