Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped organ located in the lower right part of the abdomen and connected to the large intestine. It is a medical emergency that requires surgical intervention. If left untreated, it can pose a serious threat to life. Healme Clinic offers safe and effective care for the diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis, using modern technologies and experienced surgeons.
What Causes Appendicitis?
Appendicitis usually occurs when the appendix becomes blocked. This blockage may be caused by stool, infection, foreign bodies, or swelling of lymphatic tissue. After the blockage, bacteria multiply, leading to swelling and inflammation of the appendix.
What Are the Symptoms?
If these symptoms appear, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately, as a ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis—a life-threatening infection of the abdominal lining.
How Is Appendicitis Diagnosed?
At Healme Clinic, the diagnostic process involves listening to the patient’s complaints, performing a physical examination, and supporting findings with the following tests and imaging methods:
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the most appropriate treatment method is determined.
