Common Questions and Answers about Appendicitis treatment during pregnancy

appendicitis

Avatar f tn If you’re female, a pelvic exam will be done to determine the exact location of your pain and to rule out PID, ovarian cyst, or an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube.) Complications The most serious complication of appendicitis is an infection of the lining of your abdominal cavity, this is called peritonitis. Peritonitis is a medical emergency!!!
Avatar f tn t find a lot of information online on treatment during pregnancy, but she told me there has been studies and it's safe. The other thing that I'm scared about is breastfeeding after giving birth. I am told that it is okay to breastfeed even if you are HBV positive. My concern is this; I did some research and found that it is not good to stop medication, which is what I thought I would do after giving birth so that I can breastfeed.
Avatar m tn I also have headaches and have gotten easily hot and overheated during the night. I know im not pregnant because ive testes and JUST came off my period and it was normal. Could this be my apendix? UTI? I had a UTI about 2 months ago could i have another? Oh and i feel like i have trappe gas and it travels all over my stomach.
Avatar f tn So you don't think it could be a first trimester pregnancy pain. I know I'm pregnant I've already been to the doctor I just figured it was my body adjusting.
Avatar f tn Might have to go to the emergency room is this something u had before i don't know much about the appendicitis but the symptoms are pretty similar to pregnancy symptoms but with u being so far I'm not sure about the vomiting part I never threw up with any of mine maybe just call the doctor key him know your concerns and see what they suggest
Avatar n tn My 10yr old daughter has suffered from Chronic abdominal pain, nausea, and insomnia for over 3 years. She is not tired during the day, has lots of energy, I would say that at least two to three times a week she has the sudden onset of the abdominal pain and nausea, and will run a low grade fever, but always has insomnia, she rarely sleeps more than 4 hours a night. We have found no results from doctors, the closest thing that they have come to diagnosing is irritable bowel syndrome.
Avatar n tn My sons girlfriend has been admitted to hospital in the early hours of this morning with abdominal pains and sickness, They are testing for both appendicitis and ovarian cysts She is only 18 and I thought it was over 40 that cysts occured. I am looking to reassure a very frightened girl.
Avatar f tn We get so many aches, pains, pulls and tugs during pregnancy, but rarely are they bad enough to keep you bedridden. Chances are it's nothing to harm you or the baby, and just very unpleasant, but I would still keep telling them. I wonder too if you are not just having a bad time of round ligament pain. It's usually just uncomfortable, but I have heard of some women having a really rough time with it. It is most commonly felt on the right side as well.

615752 tn?1361867986 Has anyone had chiropractic treatment during pregnancy? I had it done a few years ago due to a twisted pelvis (bad back pain), one leg shorter than the other from that, and because of my neck and was recommended to do it in my pregnancy as the pain is so bad at times that I have pain walking (I'm only 20 weeks). I was told it reduces my chances of a c-section. If anyone has had any treatment during pregnancy, would like to hear from them. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn From what I have read over the last two days with a pregnancy scare that is the best medication to go on during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Exactly 4 weeks later I developed appendicitis and had it removed via laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon said it was "messy in there". I have had no other symptoms suggestive of HIV. My concern is the appendicitis was due to lymphoid hyperplasia (swollen lymph tissue) caused from a viral infection (HIV) given it occurred so soon after exposure. It seems a bit out there to consider them related however I do see it as a possibility, but was unable to find any studies to confirm.
Avatar n tn he said i should consult specialist but when i told him that i had an open surgery for appendicitis he said this might be the reason and i should wait 1 month more and do urine analysis again if again positive consult specialist afterwords. My question is presence of protien in urine is due to surgery or not and should i consult my surgeon or specialist immediately.
Avatar n tn Last week I suffered from appendicitis and my doctor cured me by administering antibiotics. Now have a relief the inflamation is gone. But from today morning I am suffering pain in the groin area which is similar to the pain I suffered for appendicitis I wanted to know that is the pain caused by Fungal infection or medicinal reaction which was provided for appendicitis. I have not experienced similar pain in groin area before and there is no blister or rashes.
Avatar n tn Treatment of SVT in pregnancy may affect the fetus. For this reason, pharmacological treatment is best reserved for those with haemodynamic changes, severe symptoms or sustained arrhythmias. Non-pharmacological treatment including vagal manoeuvres such as carotid massage, Valsalva manoeuvre and facial ice immersion are well tolerated and safe for both mother and fetus.
Avatar m tn The only way to know for sure what is wrong is to go to the doctor and have an MRI or CT scan. That will give them a better idea of what is going on. No one can know for sure what is going on, but that will give them a better idea.
671285 tn?1292660161 Hi. I was lucky to get an appiontment with the doctor after I had made this scary post on the forum. After a thorough examination it turns out that I severely pulled a stomach muscle while moving into our new place. So, I have been given some pain medication to use incase the pain worsens. Right now, with a little rest and relaxation, I've been feeling much better. And I haven't even used the medicine yet.
Avatar n tn I have had my gallbladder removed lapo 2 weeks ago… I’m NOW expercing this sharp pain on my right lower abdominal area by my belly button, what are my chances of having appendicitis after gall bladder surgery? I want to avoid the ER, doctors and GI’s I went through so many test and so many trips to the ER during the period of 3 months to finally find out my gall bladder was only functioning at 1.
Avatar f tn pain in the right of my belly, which migrated in the LRQ after about 2 weeks, bloating, pain in the right side during bowel movements, right leg gets a little numb sometimes. Did a CT scan 1 month ago, it revealed an ovarian cyst of 3.5 cm on my right and a 5 cm one on my left. The pain on my right is persistent and the symptoms are really bad for such a small cyst. My gynecologist didn't give me many explanations, so I've searched for my simptoms online.
1552748 tn?1294211776 Good news is that during pregnancy your organs tend to move up, including your appendix, so that may not be your problem. Many women have lower stomach pain during pregnancy and it could be due to many things. Usually it's just the baby's position. At 27 week, baby is starting to run out of room already! I do hope you are able to figure out the cause of the pain and rule out anything serious.
Avatar f tn I have had the same discharge during my entire pregnancy, my doc says that I am clean and no infection. I am now 28 weeks and still have the same discharge. Sometimes it even smells horrible but the doc checked it and nothing seems like an infection.
Avatar n tn I had to have my gallbladder out, but they ignored my symptoms. I had it out 6 weeks after my son was born. If it's life threatening, they will probably try to remove it, but if it's appendicitis, they might wait until you've had bub to have it out.
Avatar f tn The pain feels like it is deep in my stomach and it is constant, I am very bloated and burp all the time. It is worse during the morning and night. I have no appetite because I feel so full all the time. It is almost as if there is a huge brick in my stomach. I have been trying to eat as much as I can everyday and when I do eat, it seems like the pain lightens up during a meal. However, a couple of hours before I eat and even a couple of hours after the pain becomes more intense.
