The effect of using heat therapy for appendicitis is relatively minor; it can be said that it does not have any significant effect.

Appendicitis is caused by increased pressure in the lumen, ischemic necrosis of the mucous membrane, leading to inflammation. In most cases, this requires surgical removal of the appendix. Medication can only temporarily control the symptoms and it is prone to recurrence.

Currently, laparoscopic appendectomy is a common surgical method for treating appendicitis. It is a minimally invasive treatment, with less bleeding during surgery and quicker post-operative recovery. Post-operative care is also important, including regular dressing changes for the incision. Stitches can usually be removed after about a week. It is advised to drink more water and eat more vegetables to prevent constipation. Patients should rest for at least two weeks after surgery to fully recover.
