Symptoms before an appendix ruptures
typhlitis
1. Unbearable abdominal pain
Abdominal pain is a representative symptom of appendicitis, and more than 95% of patients visit the hospital with severe abdominal pain. In the beginning, you feel light pain from around the navel, but gradually descend to the right lower abdomen and feel unbearable pain.
2. High fever of 39 degrees or higher
When the appendix becomes inflamed, the body may experience symptoms such as slight fever, chills, and tremors. At this time, if you have a fever of about 37.8 degrees and abdominal pain, you don’t have to worry much, but if the symptoms have worsened until just before bursting, you will suffer from a high fever of 39 degrees or more.

How to self-diagnose appendicitis
typhlitis
Acute appendicitis can also be diagnosed through self-diagnosis. If you feel severe pain when you press the right lower abdomen with your hand, suspect acute appendicitis and visit an appendix hospital promptly. If the appendix ruptures, more severe pain may occur and a high fever may occur.
appendicitis causes
Although the exact cause of appendicitis cannot be identified, it is known that it can be caused by the bending of the appendix when immunity and physical strength are reduced at the same time due to repeated binge eating or excessive drinking. Some say that appendicitis is caused by intestinal bacteria, or enteritis, while others say that pharyngitis or pneumonia is the cause of appendicitis.

Appendicitis initial treatment
If appendicitis is early or the symptoms are mild, antibiotic treatment is sometimes performed, but in most cases, the appendix is removed by surgical treatment. Antibiotics are given before and after surgery to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
appendicitis treatment
Appendicitis is not preventable, and if surgery is not performed within 3 days of the onset of symptoms, the chance of the appendix bursting is very high. Therefore, when appendicitis is suspected due to mild initial symptoms such as abdominal distension and a feeling of indigestion, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an accurate diagnosis and to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
Recently, appendicitis surgery uses a laparoscopic method rather than an abdominal incision method in which an incision is made in the lower abdomen to remove the appendix. Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical method that is performed by inserting a video camera and various instruments into a small hole in the size of 0.5 to 1.5 cm in the abdomen, also called ‘minimally invasive surgery’.

How to get gas out after appendicitis surgery
Take short, light walks to promote bowel movement.
Walk around the house for 15 minutes, but only if you feel comfortable with this intensity of activity. Walking promotes movement of the intestinal muscles, which helps relieve constipation and bloating, and promotes gas expulsion. Avoid any physical activity that is more strenuous than walking for at least a few days after surgery.
Perform leg raises to help expel gas.
Lie on your back and place a pillow under your knees. Then, with the knee bent, slowly raise the right leg toward the abdomen and hold for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, lower your leg and repeat the exercise on your left leg. These leg lifts will contract and expand your abdominal muscles while helping move gas through your digestive system. Repeat this exercise 2-3 times a day until the discomfort goes away.
