Whether patients can eat shrimp after surgical treatment for appendicitis should be objectively analyzed according to the severity of appendiceal infection and whether the patient’s gastrointestinal function has fully recovered after surgery. First, if the patient’s appendix infection is mild, only with acute simple appendicitis, minimally invasive surgical treatment of the abdominal cavity is not seriously infected, the postoperative gas, defecation more quickly. Patients can eat shrimp in small amounts without causing serious complications. And shrimp quality protein, can make the patient’s incision faster recovery. Second, if the patient appendix infection degree is more serious, with perforation, pus or gangrene-like. Surgical treatment of the abdominal cavity is still accompanied by more inflammatory exudate, gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. If the patient is fed shrimp, it may increase the burden of gastrointestinal function, which is not conducive to the faster recovery of the disease. Therefore, it is safer to suggest patients to eat shrimp after the gastrointestinal function is fully recovered.
