Doctor explains APPENDICITIS | Causes, symptoms and treatment

[@SyrinxofOz]

My appendix burst when I was 58. I had waited four days to get to see the Dr, because while I felt sick, and couldn't bear the idea of food, I had no actual pain in any of the expected area. My bowel perforated in another place as well, and I ended up losing half of it in a right sided hemicolectomy. Life changing experience, and not in a good way!

So sorry to hear but thank you for sharing your story here

[@angelabrown8458]

My brother, Dad and paternal grandfather all had appendicitis as children. Thankfully all survived. Interesting video. I’ve just discovered you!

[@DoctorODonovan]

I’m glad it was helpful! Also glad to hear they all survived !

I had my appendix removed when I was 59. My symptom was feeling like I needed to pass gas. Found out later it actually was perforated.

I wanted to say thank you for this video and the one showing the McBurney Point (I think that was the name). My son started having some abdominal pain and so I started looking up stuff and came upon your video. It was the most comprehensive video that I found. The other video showed where the pain would be and after checking him, I decided we need to take him in to be checked. He did not have the classic symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. Just the pain when he moved around. On the way to the hospital he started to have a little nausea, which started within 2 hours of when the pain started. They did blood work and a CT scan. They said it had been caught so early, he could choose the treatment - antibiotics or surgery because he still did not even have an elevated white blood cell count. He chose the antibiotics and we were on our way home from the ER within 4 hours of when the pain started. Without your video, we would have probably waited longer and he would not have had such an easy recovery. Thank you so much!!!

Wow I am just reading this now. I am so glad this was helpful! I hope he is continuing to make a good recovery.

Thanks for the interesting information. Both my brothers had appendcitis in their early teens and a friend in his mid 30's.

[@DoctorODonovan]

Thanks for watching

[@jeangrisales9933]

Why no mention on how antibiotics only can be a first line treatment instead of surgery?

[@imlienlatzudir3689]

Thank u for the info. My son is having the same problem and in antibiotics befor the operation.

[@DoctorODonovan]

You’re welcome. I hope his operation goes well

I had my appendix removed and it grew back. The doctors were stunned. Little did they know that I come from the planet Xenor where our organs grow back.
