Appendix And Appendicitis Symptoms

The vermiform appendix or otherwise called the Appendix is a tube connected to the

cecum which is a pouch like structure in the colon, close to the intersection of the small and large intestine in the lower section of the abdomen. This specific section of the body does not have any definite function in the body but it is known to develop medical problems including carcinoid tumors, appendix cancer and appendicitis

During early stages, of an appendix problem you can start to feel moderate symptoms. The most easily recognizable warning sign is a pain felt near to the navel. If irritation of the appendix continues then the pain begins to shift to your lower right section of the stomach as an signal that the ailment is spreading to nearby tissues. This results in the discomfort to become even more agonizing and sharper when the pain ultimately settles in the lower part of your stomach, close to where the appendix is, at around halfway from your navel to your upper right pelvic bone. The point is commonly known as the McBurney point. When pain is felt in this location it is a major sign that you may be diagnosed with appendicitis.

Likewise, people who suffer from appendicitis can experience lack of ability to pass their wind to alleviate any of the other appendix warning signs. You also can feel other appendix symptoms apart from the pain which need persons need to identified, especially in children who may not relay exactly where the area of pain is. These additional appendix symptoms are loss of hunger, low grade fever, diarrhea, constipation and swelling in the stomach. It is crucial that you find medical advice if you think you or a loved one has appendix inflammation or you are faced with appendix symptoms, If not you put your health at risk of casualty from unattended appendicitis. Because severe appendix inflammation requires urgent medical attention.

Appendicitis is a medical problem characterized by a swelling of the appendix and is classified as an urgent situation because all cases require taking out the irritated appendix, either by laparotomy or laparoscopy. There is a huge death toll for individuals who are not taken care of rapidly, mainly because of peritonitis and shock. Appendicitis has been noted as one of the most frequent causes of severe acute stomach pain globally. A correctly diagnose non-acute form of appendicitis is called "rumbling appendicitis".

Acute appendicitis is considered as caused from an blockage of the appendix lumen. The obstruction lets the appendix to become filled with mucus and enlarged, increasing the strain within the lumen and the lining of the appendix, can lead to thrombosis and occlusion of the small vessels, and stasis of lymphatic flow. At this point there are rare instances, where instantaneous recovery can take place. As bacteria start to leak out through the dying walls, pus forms within and over the appendix. The end product of this situation is appendiceal rupture (a 'burst appendix') causing peritonitis, which may lead to septicemia and eventually death.

Some of the situation that can cause appendicitis are foreign bodies, trauma, intestinal worms, lymphadenitis, and calcified deposits are known as appendicoliths. The frequency of fecaliths in patients with appendicitis is significantly higher in first world countries than in third world countries, and an appendiceal fecalith is generally linked to complicated appendicitis. The occurrence of a fecalith in the appendix happens when fecal matter is held back in the right sided, reservoir in the colon for an extensive time period. Acute appendicitis has been shown to take place right before cancer in the colon and rectum. A number of researches show proof that eating limited or no fiber is connected to the development of appendicitis because dietary iber helps to cleanse the system and help stop waste build up.
