RE: 5 Most Common Abdominal Surgical Diseases

in #appendectomy6 years ago

Of course!, The major symptom is abdominal pain in the right inguinal hole, which is at the site of McBurney's point
One special thing about this pain is that it becomes super intense after pushing the spot and suddenly releasing it.
And just like all other inflammatory diseases, appendicitis is accompanied by general symptoms such as nausea, fever and fatigue.
You can add that all appendicitis patients cannot tolerate the pain and come immediately to the hospital, and the first procedure a doctor has to do is confirming or ruling out appendicitis.
Such case is called "Acute Surgical Abdomen"
