Appendicitis Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small tube attached to the large bowel. It causes pain that often starts around the navel and moves to the lower right side of the abdomen, with fever, nausea and vomiting. It is an emergency – if not treated, the appendix can burst. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, appendicitis is diagnosed with sonography or CT and treated with appendix surgery, with a 24×7 emergency and operation theatre.
Understanding the Condition
Why Appendicitis Is an Emergency
When the appendix gets blocked, it swells and becomes infected. Within a day or two it can burst, spreading infection in the abdomen (peritonitis), which is serious. Early surgery is simple and recovery is quick, so don’t wait or take painkillers at home for sudden right-sided abdominal pain.
Pain on the Right Side May Also Be
- Kidney stone
- Gallstones (upper right)
- Ovarian cyst or ectopic pregnancy in women
- Stomach infection
