Appendicitis.
What is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis occurs in the body in an inner organ called the appendix. Appendix is a thin and small tube with a length of about 2 to 3 inches. In the large intestine where the stool is made, it is attached to the intestine. A painful swelling in the appendix is known as appendicitis.
Usually at the beginning of appendicitis, pain in the middle of the stomach is repeatedly. In just a few hours the pain starts to the lower right side of the stomach, where the appendix is located and pain becomes severe. Its pain becomes more serious by walking, coughing or suppressing this place.
If you have appendicitis, there are symptoms such as dizziness, loss of appetite, fever and red face.
There are two types of appendicitis - acute and chronic. Acute appendicitis develops very quickly, which takes some hours to days. Chronic appendicitis is swollen, which persists for a long time.
If someone is suffering from appendicitis, then the appendix should be removed from the abdomen as soon as possible. The operation of the appendix is known as the appendectomy. If a person is likely to have appendicitis, but it is not possible to diagnose them, then surgery is advised. Such advice is given because it is better to take the risk of appendix bursts and remove the appendix.

Appendix does not do any significant work in the human body, and removing it does not even have any long term problem.
Types of Appendicitis.
There are two types of Appendicitis:
1. Acute appendicitis - Acute Appendicitis is like its name which develops very fast, usually it develops in a few hours or days. It is easy to detect, and surgery is needed for its immediate treatment. This occurs when there is a complete blockage due to bacterial infections, feces or any other type of obstruction in the appendix. When bacteria begin to grow rapidly in the appendix, it starts to form swelling and pus, which can also become the cause of Appendix lifelessness.
2. Chronic appendicitis - Swelling lasts longer. In case of appendicitis, it has been recorded up to 1.5 percent only. With chronic appendicitis, the appendix starts interrupting slightly, which causes swelling in the surrounding tissues. Swelling becomes more severe due to internal pressure. However, rather than the tearing of the appendix, obstruction opens up with pressure over time. Thus, its symptoms can be reduced or even end.
Chronic Appendicitis vs. Acute Appendicitis
Chronic and acute appendicitis are confused many times because in many cases, chronic appendicitis can not be diagnosed until it has the appearance of acute appendicitis.
The symptoms of chronic appendicitis are mildly low, which last for long periods of time, and sometimes they disappear, and sometimes they appear again. Many times it takes many weeks, months and even years to diagnose it.
While the symptoms of acute appendicitis are quite serious, which begin to appear suddenly within 24 to 48 hours. Acute appendicitis needs immediate treatment.
Appendicitis Symptoms.
Its early signs and symptoms often look quite light, including abdominal pain and loss of appetite.
And then as gradually increases the appendicitis, pain becomes a major symptom, which is not limited to the affected area, but spreads in the internal organs around it.
If these symptoms are not seen first, the second symptoms of appendicitis are less of appetite. It can become more complicated and even vomiting. Swelling can reach the intestines, and cause obstruction in them. Nausea and vomiting may also occur in such a situation.
Other symptoms of appendicitis:
1. The slight pains in the navel or upper part of the abdomen, which gets faster while moving towards the lower right side of the stomach.
2. Not feeling hungry
3. Nausea and/or vomiting after the stomach ache begins
4. Stomach swelling
5. 99-102 degrees Fahrenheit Fever.
6. Light or sharp pain anywhere in the lower or lower part of the abdomen, back, or rectum.
7. Problems in urinating
8. Severe convulsions in the stomach
9. Problem of constipation or diarrhea with gas
10. Appendicitis also affects urine.
If a person is also suspected of having appendicitis, then he should not take laxatives pills. The person affected by appendicitis may break the appendix if he is taking laxative pills.
If with these other symptoms, if your stomach is feeling soft on the right side, then do a check-up with the doctor immediately. Appendicitis can soon become a form of emergency medicine.
Causes of Appendicitis
It is believed that appendicitis begins to develop only when the path of the appendix that opens in the "cecum" (cecum is a sac, which is linked to the interaction of the small intestine and large intestine) closes. This obstruction may be due to the formation of a fat mucus fluid inside the appendix or due to the stool which goes inside the appendix from the seams. These liquids or stools become stiff and strong like stones, which trap and close the pores. This stony thing is called 'fecalith'.
Apart from this, many times, the lymphatic tissue of the appendix is swollen and they spread and close the pore. Bacteria are commonly found in the appendix, but after interruption, they increase many times more that attack the layers of appendix and begin to spread the circulation.
When the attack of bacteria increases, the body reacts on it, and this attack takes the form of swelling. If the symptoms of appendicitis are not identified on time and the swelling of the appendix continues to grow, the appendix can burst, and after this, bacteria spread even beyond the appendix.
After the appendix burst, infection by the bacteria can spread throughout the stomach. Although generally it spreads to the tissues around the appendix and is restricted to a small area around the appendix.
Prevention of Appendicitis.
There is no other way than regular health preventive checks to prevent appendicitis. This is because in the same way the internal organs of the body can be examined and their position can be detected.
However, the high levels of fiber-rich foods decrease the likelihood of having problems like Appendicitis. Although it can not be given complete proof, but one possible reason may be that fiber softens the stool, which reduces the possibility of trapping it in its appendix.
