Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a 3 &1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine.

Causes –Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked, often by stool, a foreign body, or cancer. Blockage may also occur from infection, since the appendix swells in response toany infection in the body.

Symptoms–The classic symptoms of appendicitis include:

  • Dull pain near the navel or the upper abdomen that becomes sharp as it moves to the lower right abdomen. This is usually the first sign.
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and/or vomiting soon after abdominal pain begins
  • Abdominal swelling
  • Fever
  • Inability to pass gas. Though there may not be present of above symptoms in many people with appendicitis.

Diagnosis–The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis:

  • Abdominal examination to detect inflammation
  • Urine test to rule out a urinary tract infection
  • Rectal examination
  • Blood test
  • CT scans and / or ultrasound
  • Severe complications of a ruptured appendix include widespread, painful inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall and sepsis.

Treatment–All cases require removal of the inflamed appendix, either by laparotomy or laparoscopy. Untreated, mortality is high, mainly because of peritonitis and shock.

  • Antibiotic for infection is given.
  • Surgery to remove the appendix, which is called an appendectomy, is treatment for appendicitis.

Homoeopathic treatment–for treatment of appendicitis one should consult homoeopathic physician for proper medication, as there are so many homoeopathic medicines which have power to treat appendicitis.
