Oh no, I just had a good meal, I can't exercise vigorously, and I will get appendicitis if I exercise vigorously after eating!
Xiao-hsien
Who said that what does appendicitis have to do with exercise after meals?
Small bridge
My grandmother said, you must not exercise after eating, otherwise you will have a stomach ache and appendicitis!
Xiao-hsien
Hahaha, do you want to laugh at me? It takes at least 6 hours for food to be digested from the stomach to the end, so I'll tell you about the cause of appendicitis. Make a point!
Appendicitis science knowledge
★ What is appendicitis? ★
Appendicitis refers to inflammation of the appendix caused by various reasons, usually manifested as pain in the right lower quadrant, but also as metastatic right lower quadrant pain (because pain around the navel may occur in the early stages of appendicitis, which may change to pain in the right lower abdomen after a period of time), and symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur. This condition is not uncommon in the population, especially in people aged 10~30.
★ Causes ★ of appendicitis
The most common cause is obstruction of the stool in the appendix cavity, which causes bacteria to multiply and cause infection. In addition, food debris, parasites, stones, etc. can also cause appendicitis. Some people may ask why the symptoms of appendicitis vary from person to person, mainly because everyone's body condition and immunity are different, and the response to the disease will be different.
★ Prevention ★ of appendicitis
First of all, it is very important to maintain good lifestyle habits and eating habits. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce the risk of disease. Secondly, regular check-ups should be taken seriously, especially for people with chronic diseases or a family history of appendicitis. Finally, once symptoms such as abdominal pain appear, do not ignore it, especially if there is pain around the umbilicus, do not treat it as ordinary gastroenteritis, and timely medical attention is the key to prevent the condition from worsening. Many cases of appendicitis are not taken seriously at first, and eventually lead to perforation of the appendix, which becomes inflammation of the entire abdominal cavity.
★ Treatment ★ of appendicitis
There are two main types of treatment for appendicitis: medical treatment and surgical treatment.
Medication is mainly antibiotics to control inflammation and reduce pain. Depending on the patient's condition and the type of bacteria, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. At the same time, painkillers can also be used to relieve pain.
Surgery is surgery to remove the appendix to eliminate inflammation. There are two types of surgery: laparoscopic surgery and traditional surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces postoperative pain and recovery time. Traditional surgery, on the other hand, requires an incision, which is more traumatic to the body.
The doctor will determine the most suitable treatment based on the patient's condition and physical condition. During the treatment, you must follow the doctor's instructions, take your medication on time, and pay attention to rest, so that you can recover as soon as possible.
