What is acute suppurative appendicitis?

Acute suppurative appendicitis usually develops from simple appendicitis and is usually associated with obstruction of the appendiceal lumen and bacterial invasion. Prompt medical treatment is recommended. Acute suppurative appendicitis, also called acute cellulitis appendicitis, usually develops from simple acute appendicitis. The cause of the disease is mostly related to the obstruction of the lumen of the appendix and the rise of pressure in the lumen, which leads to the obstruction of blood flow and causes the inflammation to intensify. In addition, bacterial multiplication, secretion of endotoxins and exotoxins, causing inflammation, is also an important factor in the development of the disease. Acute purulent appendicitis is usually characterized by severe clinical symptoms, severe abdominal pain and, if left untreated, perforation of the appendix and gangrene. If severe abdominal pain occurs, it is recommended to be admitted to the hospital in time to avoid delay.
