Easy availability of Antibiotics on Appendicitis

The mainstay of treatment to appendicitis is appendectomy, the surgical removal of appendix. Off late the latest laparoscopic techniques used in the surgical removal offers quick and easy fix for appendicitis. The approach to antibiotic though has merits, is not practiced widely. Is there a milder form of appendicitis? That is precisely what the research say. Over 80% of the appendicitis is milder. They do not warrant an immediate surgery. There are these other 20% which fall under the emergency category. They definitely require surgical removal as they are in critical stage of rupturing. Because they are highly inflamed and inflated, they warrant surgical removal as they can burst anytime. A simple CT scan can ascertain which type of appendicitis one falls, either a milder one or a more emergency one. http://www.springfieldwellnesscentre.com/easy-availability-antibiotics-appendicitis/

What happens if appendix ruptures?

Some may wonder if an internal organ like appendix can burst. We tend to assume that if there is acute stomach pain, the physician would do physical examination to doubt appendicitis. A diagnosis would lead to finding appendicitis in you and you would get an appendix removal surgery done and remove the appendix. This is what most of you would think.

Peritonitis due to a ruptured appendix

Peritonitis is the inflammation or infection in the peritoneum. This is a thin layer that covers all the abdominal organs and is an inner lining of the abdomen wall. An inflammation to the peritoneum can be caused mainly when the fluid in the gastro intestinal tract comes in contact with the peritoneum. This can happen due to a ruptured appendix, ulcer perforation, gallbladder infection, intestinal perforations, trauma to the abdomen (accidents where the abdomen suffers from rupture and injuries) .

Abscess in Appendix

One of the complications of a burst  #appendix  is the formation of something called  #abscess  around the area where the burst has happened. An abscess is a collection of pus around the area. This collection of pus is because the body's immune system has been fighting the infection. The treatment for abscess is usually administering antibiotics. But before administering the antibiotics, when appendectomy is done, the pus in the abscess area is drained mandatory as part of the cleaning of the abdomen.
