Symptoms of acute and chronic appendicitis

Acute appendicitis with the classic presentation of metastatic right lower abdominal pain. Patients usually present with pain in the epigastrium under the glabella after having an unclean diet or a drastic change in weather. This pain is usually dull and paroxysmal, and after 8-10 hours of pain, the pain gradually shifts and becomes fixed in the right lower abdomen. Metastatic right lower abdominal pain is clinically referred to as a presentation specific to appendicitis. The diagnosis of appendicitis is usually confirmed clinically. Except for patients with obvious contraindications to surgery, aggressive surgical treatment is generally recommended because there is a risk of recurrence in the future, even after appendicitis has improved with conservative treatment. Chronic appendicitis has the following characteristics: 1. The patient has had recurrent episodes of acute appendicitis. 2. A history of more than 3 months is required to diagnose chronic appendicitis.
