#Antibiotics can treat #appendicitis for many patients, no surgery needed
A quarter of a million people get appendicitis every year in the United States, when a blockage or infection inflames the #appendix. For more than a century, doctors treating appendicitis have usually removed the organ, for fear it might rupture and cause severe infection. After 10 years, more than half still did not need an #appendectomy, new data show

What Are the 4 Stages of Appendicitis? | Notion

Appendicitis is a common but dangerous medical condition that needs to be found and treated right away. It happens when the appendix, which is a small pouch that looks like a finger and is attached to the large intestine, gets inflamed. If appendicitis isn't treated, it can get worse quickly and cause problems that could be life-threatening.

Have we got the appendix all wrong? – podcast

For a long time the appendix was considered disposable. After all, millions of people have theirs removed each year and go on to live healthy lives. But as Heather F Smith, a professor of anatomy at Midwestern University tells Ian Sample, researchers are increasingly understanding what this small worm-shaped organ may be bringing to the table in terms of our health. Smith explains how the appendix is linked to both our immune system development and gut health, and why she thinks an increasing interest in the microbiome may bring it to greater prominence

Shortest hospital stay (two days, one night) ever for me. #appendicitis, while painful enough to present to the ER, wasn't as painful as any of my #pancreatitis bouts. I needed pain meds still, but after an initial push of #fentanyl in the ED to drop from 8/10 to 2/10 (seriously, fentanyl is amazing at taking the hammer to pain levels), #morphine was sufficient for managing the remaining pain as it flucuated around 4 or 5/10 (*and* I didn't need it 'round-the-clock, either). Thankfully, it was uncomplicated appendicitis. No rupture or abscesses. Removed with #laproscopic approach. I'm sore, but home. Won't be able to #doordash for a while, but i'll manage.

Happy belated birthday to me. This time, it is not #pancreatitis, but #appendicitis. Yay. I go in for surgery at some point tomorrow to remove it. I wonder if this is related to my #ChronicPancreatitis #ChronicIllness or if it is just a bonus to start the new year. #FortWorth #healthcare.
