Patients with acute appendicitis need to decide the treatment method according to the specific degree of appendicitis condition, which can be treated conservatively or surgically, so surgery is not necessarily necessary.
1. Conservative treatment: Acute appendicitis can be observed through conservative treatment if there is only simple abdominal pain, vomiting, etc. and there is no perforation or suppuration of appendicitis on imaging. Conservative treatment is also suitable for elderly people who cannot tolerate surgery.
2. Surgery: for acute appendicitis, the general principle of treatment is to choose early surgery, so as to avoid the development of appendicitis suppuration and gangrene or perforation, surgical operation is difficult and postoperative complications increased significantly. Acute appendicitis is prone to recurring episodes if treatment is not complete, so early surgery is also recommended.
When suffering from acute appendicitis, you need to go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment, and the specific treatment method is in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, so as not to delay the condition.
