Appendicitis is a very common disease in general surgery, so you can visit the general surgery department at the hospital. The main symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, with the pain being quite severe in acute cases. If the appendix becomes suppurative, it can lead to the formation of a peri-appendicular abscess or appendix perforation, which then causes peritoneal irritation. Active surgical treatment should be pursued, options include traditional removal surgery or laparoscopic appendix removal. Postoperative care should be tailored to the condition of the patient, and rest is essential.
