What should I do if I have appendicitis pain?
Appendicitis should first be diagnosed and treated at the general surgery outpatient clinic. The doctor will perform relevant examinations based on symptoms and signs, such as complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and ultrasound of the lower right abdomen, among others. Based on the results of these tests, the doctor will make an appropriate judgment about the condition. Generally, surgery is advocated for acute appendicitis. If the inflammation is not severe, conservative treatment, primarily focusing on anti-inflammatory treatment, may also be an option. Severe acute appendicitis poses a risk of perforation, and timely hospitalization for surgical treatment is recommended. Chronic appendicitis should also be managed based on specific symptoms, signs, and related examinations, with early surgery performed if possible to prevent recurrent episodes.
