Precursors of acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is acute inflammation of the appendix lumen, and currently, there are no particularly typical precursors, but the causes of acute appendicitis should be noted, which are related to obstruction and infection of the appendix cavity. If the appendix lumen is compressed for a long time, the accumulation of secretions can cause blood supply disorders in the distal appendix wall, directly causing damage to the appendix mucosa, and inducing infection that leads to appendicitis. Additionally, gastrointestinal dysfunctions such as diarrhea and constipation can also cause spasms of the appendix muscles and vessels, leading to blood supply disorders and mucosal damage, thereby causing acute appendicitis.
