3 symptoms in the early stage of appendicitis, understand for better identification and be prepared
Everyone must know that appendicitis is a disease. Now the incidence of appendicitis is relatively high, but its cure rate is also high. The appearance of appendicitis has a lot to do with people not paying attention to their daily diet, and many patients with chronic appendicitis always have repeated attacks. Although it is not a very serious disease and generally does not endanger the patient's life, it can also cause a lot of pain to the patient.
Prompt treatment at the early stage of appendicitis can prevent the further development of the disease, and can also make the disease recover faster, and the patient will suffer less. However, many people mistake appendicitis for stomach pain. Therefore, if they do not seek medical attention in time, they cannot get a faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Here are 3 symptoms of appendicitis in the early stage, so that you can better identify whether you have appendicitis.
- Abdominal pain. Abdominal pain is the main symptom in the early stage of appendicitis, but abdominal pain caused by appendicitis is metastatic. Patients usually present with upper abdominal pain at first, specifically around the navel, which can easily be mistaken for a stomach problem. However, with the development of the disease, the abdominal pain will transfer to the right lower quadrant, which is generally called metastatic abdominal pain. Pain may be paroxysmal or persistent, and when symptoms worsen, the patient may not be able to straighten up and walk.
The body is hot. Many diseases may cause symptoms of body heat, especially inflammatory diseases, and appendicitis can also cause body heat symptoms. And fever is also one of the more common symptoms of appendicitis in the early stage. As the disease progresses, the patient's body temperature will rise to 38 degrees or even 39 degrees. Therefore, if you have symptoms of fever and abdominal pain, you should be alert that you may have appendicitis, and you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid the continued aggravation of the condition.
Gastrointestinal symptoms. Appendicitis will affect the gastrointestinal tract and cause gastrointestinal spasms. Therefore, corresponding adverse symptoms will also occur, such as nausea and vomiting may be caused by appendicitis. However, patients often think that they have gastrointestinal diseases, and ignore the existence of appendicitis. It is easy to cause perforation of appendix gangrene due to lack of timely treatment, and it may also cause abnormal defecation.
Some symptoms of appendicitis in the early stage can be controlled and self-examined when there is physical discomfort. If appendicitis is suspected, then you must not delay, you should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment. Early treatment can be recovered through infusion and medicine. If the condition is more serious, surgery may be required, and the patient will suffer more pain accordingly.
