There is no such thing as whether it is better to have surgery or not to have surgery for appendicitis, but if the patient does not have obvious contraindications to surgery, surgery is generally recommended.
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix caused by various factors leading to blockage of the appendix lumen or secondary bacterial infection. Patients may experience anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. If the patient is unwilling to undergo surgical treatment, or is in poor health and unable to undergo surgery, surgical treatment may be withheld.
However, for patients who can undergo surgical treatment, surgical treatment is generally recommended to avoid untimely treatment of acute appendicitis and aggravation of the condition, which may lead to abdominal abscess, septic sepsis, and diffuse peritonitis, which may seriously jeopardize the patient’s health. Or the formation of chronic appendicitis, there will be frequent inflammatory episodes, resulting in abdominal pain and other discomforts, often requiring elective surgical treatment.
Whether or not a patient with appendicitis needs to take surgical treatment should be decided after taking into account their own situation and asking their doctor for guidance.
