What to do if you get appendicitis when you have your period

In women with symptoms of appendicitis around the menstrual cycle, the diagnosis of whether to take surgical treatment options is clearly determined by the specific characteristics of the patient’s physiological cycle. For appendicitis with mild symptoms or early appendicitis, if it is in time for the menstrual cycle, if conservative treatment can be taken, it may be appropriate to take conservative 1-2 days to do surgery after the menstrual cycle may be relatively safe and effectively prevent the risk of bleeding. If acute suppuration or even perforated appendicitis occurs during menstruation, the menstrual cycle cannot be considered during this period and should be treated in an emergency manner. If necessary, laparoscopic appendectomy can be performed, which has a small incision, and the patient recovers quickly and with less bleeding after surgery, which facilitates the recovery from appendicitis.
