"I am very grateful for the excellent and quick treatment I received at Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai. Dr Sangram Karandikar and his team guided me throughout the procedure and supported me with great care. Thanks to their prompt action, I am now fully recovered."
What is Acute Appendicitis?
Acute appendicitis is a sudden inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It is considered a medical emergency because the appendix can burst if not treated in time, causing a severe infection inside the abdomen.
Common symptoms include:
- Severe pain starting near the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Mild fever
Urgent surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy) is the standard and most effective treatment to prevent complications such as infection spreading to the abdominal cavity (peritonitis).
