Скачать или смотреть What is Ruptured Appendix? Delhi India’s leading female laparoscopic surgeon Dr Amita Jain explains

The appendix is a small finger-shaped pouch at the end of the large intestine. Its function in the human body is yet not entirely known, but some scientists believe that the appendix may act as a holding tank for good gut bacteria. A human body doesn’t need the appendix to stay healthy but if the appendix swells, inflamed, and get filled with pus then immediate medical intervention is required to prevent it to get further worse and bursting inside the body.

When an appendix burst inside the body it releases pus and bad bacteria that can cause severe medical complication and even risk the life of the patient. In this blog, India’s leading female #laparoscopic #surgeon Dr Amita Jain who is highly experienced and skilled in appendix removal surgeries shares what to do if someone’s appendix is ruptured.

Signs and symptoms of Ruptured Appendix

The early sign of appendicitis, which can burst or lead to a ruptured appendix, is severe pain near the belly button that gets worse with the passing of time and the pain gradually spreads to the right side of the lower abdomen. The pain can also start in the right side of the lower abdomen, where the appendix is located along with:

Mild fever with nausea or vomiting or constipation.
Diarrhea.
Pain that worsens when moving, breathing deeply, coughing, or sneezing.
Pain when the area is lightly pressed.
Pain lessens and then returns in a more severe form
Pain is all over your abdomen
Note: during a severe appendix situation, the patient may experience the pain going away for a few hours. This happens because the rupture releases pressure but serious infection can set in quickly. A rupture can happen within two to three days after the pain starts. Thus, consulting a medical professional immediately is suggested.
