Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum, the lining of the inner wall of the abdomen and cover of the abdominal organs.[2] Symptoms may include severe pain, swelling of the abdomen, fever, or weight loss.[2][3] One part or the entire abdomen may be tender.[1] Complications may include shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome.[4][5]
Causes include perforation of the intestinal tract, pancreatitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, stomach ulcer, cirrhosis, or a ruptured appendix.[3] Risk factors include ascites and peritoneal dialysis.[4] Diagnosis is generally based on examination, blood tests, and medical imaging.[6]
Treatment often includes antibiotics, intravenous fluids, pain medication, and surgery.[3][4] Other measures may include a nasogastric tube or blood transfusion.[4] Without treatment death may occur within a few days.[4] Approximately 7.5% of people have appendicitis at some point in time.[1] About 20% of people with cirrhosis who are hospitalized have peritonitis.[1]

Peritonitis from pd dialysis is the top most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. Now whenever I get a sore stomach I panic and think it’s peritonitis. I want to catch it before it gets so painful that I can’t even think straight. First time I thought I was constipated I was in so much pain sitting on the toilet slipping in and out of consciousness. Had no idea how serious it was. I was blacking out trying to hook up my machine and this is when I first started learning the machine so I was struggling to read the instructions and do it right I was about to just say screw it and go without dialysis. I somehow managed tho. Idk how but I did.

Worst pain ever! I have a high tolerance for pain, but I was screaming in my Dr's office when he was trying to examine my abdomen. He immediately admitted me to the hospital. I had a shunt infection. I had surgery in January that year. My doctor that did my surgery said there was nothing wrong, so the next time that year that my shunt failed again, my mom told the ER to take me to another hospital. Long story short my shunt failed 2 more times and I developed Meningitis. I had to be in ICU for almost a month with a drain in my head to drain the excess CSF because the surgeon had to remove all my shunts. When the infection cleared, I had another surgery. They saved my life!

[@MedicalCentric]

Sorry to hear about your experiences, I'm glad you are feeling better now

[@Threebrownsoldiers]

True pain is unimaginable and life threatening. I suffered from peritonitis and had a hole in my large intestine actually I ignored the symptoms I continued suffered from fever 3 weeks and vomiting sometimes

I just came home after being in the hospital for 6 days diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer Disease which lead to Peritonitis. So painful. I never want to go through this again. Trying to learn everything I can about it now. I was very close to becoming septic and had to have emergency surgery.

Sorry about the experience, I hope you are getting treatment now.

question: I have a VP shunt I`m a weightlifte, I get pain in said area when I deadlift is this just something I just have to get used too?

[@jennaraye27]

I got Peritonitis for a shunt infection

[@user-ep7ns1jp3p]

i had a colon cancer surgery a week ago and have a fever (37.3 degrees) and fast heart beat. is peritonitis comes with high fever or should i worry with 37.3 degrees?

[@juniorjr9011]

How have you been?

[@mxrcv_8490]

Can you answer this question for me I’m kinda worried, what happens if you take the air out of your stomach to burp and if you do it a lot. What will happen because I have gotten sick ounce but then went away and got pain in my stomach that’s it. Is that peritonitis??

[@Yanik2002]

Nope ur fine

[@Monika-mb6jh]

Lol no. That’s just gas escaping your stomach. Worst you’re gonna do is irritate your esophagus because you’re allowing your sphincter to stay open more often than it needs to

[@laiba9016]

What's with burps with awkward sounds😢

[@ionut_y1]

Yeah this happened to me last year and god damn it was so painful

[@laiba9016]

Can peritonitis leads to skin dissolve 😢

[@jeffkealy5951]

Oof, I had the worse type of appendicitis and had this. Almost lost my ovaries to this and uh, even so, now i have a weird sharp pain above my, you know. It hurts to stretch and is it dangerous? Makes me wanna throw up a bit.

[@mana3735]

I had to have a drain fitted into my abdomen. I had a burst gangrenous appendix that leaked again after surgery. Nil by mouth for 2 weeks when it's the hottest days on record isn't very funny.

[@tesla_pyro]

So a ruptured appendicitis can lead to peritonitis? Right?

[@MedicalCentric]

Yes, a ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis.Peritonitis, an inflammation of the peritoneum, can indeed be caused by a ruptured appendix. This serious condition arises when bacteria or fungi from a ruptured appendix spread into the abdominal cavity, leading to infection and inflammation. Individuals with peritonitis often experience severe abdominal pain, tenderness, bloating, fever, nausea, and vomiting. To diagnose peritonitis, healthcare professionals rely on a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests to detect infection, and imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans to pinpoint the infection's source. Treatment typically involves administering antibiotics to combat the infection and surgical intervention to remove the infected tissue. Specifically, in cases of a ruptured appendix, an appendectomy is performed to remove the appendix, thereby addressing the root cause of the infection.

[@tesla_pyro]

@@MedicalCentric And peritonitis could eventually progress to sepsis/septic shock if left untreated as the infection may spread onto the bloodstream. Right?

[@tesla_pyro]

@@MedicalCentric THANK YOUUU, I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS VIDEO. 😊

Can perforation peritonitis affect pregnancy??

[@MedicalCentric]

Perforation peritonitis can pose serious risks to both the mother and the fetus during pregnancy, necessitating prompt medical intervention to safeguard maternal and fetal health.

I got this from lower tooth abscess. I was going to die

[@MedicalCentric]

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. It's important to treat a dental abscess promptly as it can lead to serious complications like peritonitis if the infection spreads.
