Facts about appendicitis symptoms

Written by oa on January 16, 2012 – 6:35 pm

The diagnosis of appendicitis also can be difficult because other inflammatory problems may mimic appendicitis. People with certain medical conditions may not experience the common appendicitis symptoms. Typical appendicitis usually includes abdominal pain beginning in the region of the umbilicus for several hours, associated with anorexia, nausea or vomiting. Appendectomy remains the only curative treatment of appendicitis.
Most of the time misdiagnosis of acute appendicitishappens due to the habit that the doctors develop, which is treating the appendicitis symptoms only, and not taking a full adequate history or a good physical examination to diagnose the illness correctly. Some people develop pain similar to appendicitis, but it’s caused by something else, like a bladder or urine infection, Crohn’s disease or gastritis.
