Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It often causes pain and can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.

Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, especially in the lower right side, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, and abdominal swelling.

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans. Dr. Yuvaraj Gehlot will use these methods to accurately diagnose your condition.

Treatment options include laparoscopic appendectomy, open appendectomy, antibiotic therapy, percutaneous drainage, and non-operative management in certain cases. The choice depends on the severity and individual patient factors.

Treatments are designed to minimize discomfort. While some procedures may involve temporary pain, pain management strategies are provided to ensure a comfortable recovery.

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure and individual factors. Many patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week.

Potential risks include infection, bleeding, and complications from surgery. Our team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a successful outcome.

There is no sure way to prevent appendicitis. However, maintaining a healthy diet and seeking prompt medical care for abdominal pain may help reduce risks. Dr. Yuvaraj Gehlot can offer personalized advice based on your situation.

Once the appendix is removed, appendicitis cannot recur. Follow-up care is provided to monitor recovery and address any concerns.
