Symptoms of Appendix Burst
If your appendix bursts, it can be a life-threatening emergency. Symptoms of a burst appendix include severe abdominal pain that may start around the belly button and move to the lower right side of the abdomen. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. The pain may last for several days before the appendix ruptures.
Diagnosis of Burst Appendix
If you suspect you have a burst appendix, seek medical help immediately. Your doctor will perform a physical exam and may order imaging tests such as an abdominal ultrasound, CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests may also be conducted to check for signs of infection or inflammation in the abdomen.
Treatment of Burst Appendix
If your appendix has burst, it must be surgically removed. This procedure is called an appendectomy. It is usually done under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision in the abdomen and remove the appendix. After the procedure, you may need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.
Preventing a Burst Appendix
The best way to prevent a burst appendix is to be aware of the symptoms and seek medical attention promptly if you experience any. You should also eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of abdominal infections. Additionally, practice good hygiene to avoid contracting a bacterial infection in the abdomen.
