What Is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped pouch that extends from the colon. The appendix is located in the lower right abdomen. While its exact function is unknown, it's believed to play a role in the immune system.
Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked, often by fecal matter, a foreign object, or rarely, a tumor. This blockage can lead to bacterial growth and infection, causing inflammation, swelling, and pain.
The most common symptom of appendicitis is a sudden onset of pain that typically starts around the navel and then moves to the lower right abdomen.
Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and constipation or diarrhea.
Appendicitis is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment, usually involving surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).
If left untreated, the appendix can rupture, spreading infection throughout the abdomen and leading to serious complications.
What Are The Causes of Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is primarily caused by a blockage within the appendix, leading to inflammation and infection. Several factors can contribute to this blockage, including:
Fecaliths (Hardened Stool): These are the most common cause, especially in younger individuals. Small, hard pieces of stool can get lodged in the narrow opening of the appendix, obstructing its drainage.
Lymphoid Hyperplasia: This refers to the enlargement of lymphoid tissue within the appendix, often due to viral or bacterial infections. The swollen tissue can block the appendix's lumen.
Foreign Bodies: Occasionally, small objects like fruit seeds, popcorn kernels, or even parasites can find their way into the appendix and cause obstruction.
Tumors: In rare cases, tumors (both benign and malignant) can grow within or near the appendix, leading to blockage and subsequent appendicitis.
Other Causes: Less common causes include inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and trauma to the abdomen.
Minimally Invasive
Dr. Rajarshi Mitra offers a range of treatments for appendicitis, including minimally invasive procedures like Laparoscopic Appendectomy, Percutaneous Drainage, Drain Placement, and Open Appendectomy (if required).

Symptoms of Appendicitis
Appendicitis typically manifests with a combination of the following symptoms:
Abdominal Pain: This is the most common symptom. The pain usually starts as a dull ache around the navel and then migrates to the lower right abdomen. It may worsen with movement, coughing, or deep breaths.
Nausea and Vomiting: These often accompany the abdominal pain, particularly as it intensifies.
Loss of Appetite: Many individuals with appendicitis experience a decreased desire to eat.
Fever: A low-grade fever may develop as the inflammation progresses.
Constipation or Diarrhea: Changes in bowel habits can occur, although they are less common than other symptoms.
Abdominal Swelling: The abdomen may become distended and tender to the touch.
It's important to note that not everyone experiences all of these symptoms, and their intensity can vary. Some individuals, particularly young children, older adults, and pregnant women may present with atypical symptoms or have less pronounced pain.
If you suspect appendicitis, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, as early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious complications.
Treatment of Appendicitis
The most effective treatment for appendicitis is the surgical removal of the appendix, a procedure known as an appendectomy.
This is typically performed as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent complications like rupture and peritonitis (infection of the abdominal lining).
Appendectomies can be performed laparoscopically (using small incisions and a camera) or through open surgery (using a larger incision).
Laparoscopic surgery is often preferred as it generally results in less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
In some cases, particularly for uncomplicated appendicitis, antibiotics alone may be used as an initial treatment. However, surgery is usually still recommended to prevent future episodes.
Following surgery, patients typically receive pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and individual factors, but most people can return to normal activities within a few weeks.
It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect appendicitis, as delaying treatment can lead to serious complications.
Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are key to a successful outcome.
