Common Questions and Answers about Appendicitis diagnosis today clinical ultrasonic deductions
appendicitis
Hi, appendicitis as such is more of a clinical diagnosis. In chronic appendicitis what we see may just be thickening of the bowel wall or appendix on a CT scan. But usually the image findings are correlated with clinical symptoms and blood tests. If an acute infection the neutrophils are raised and if due to tuberculosis, the lymphocytes are raised in blood counts.
Hi
For about ten hours now, I've have a dull ache that comes and goes in my lower right abdomen. It's not currently severe, just a dull ache for about five seconds every two or so minutes, not continuous.
Anybody else experience this? I read that it could be a symptom of IBS/IBD, which would make sense as I'm currently being tested for those conditions.
I'm just terrified that it's early appendicitis as I've never experienced it before.
Hi rockla, I normally get blood draw each month while on a clinical trial. Each time, I need to fast for 6-8 hours depending on how much they have to draw. It's best to get it drawn in the morning so you have no way of eating/drinking while you sleep.
My former husband and daughter returned from a trip to Japan a week ago today. The ex started having abdominal pains, which he described as cramplike in nature, the night of their return to the States. It was episodic, not constant, and moving around seemed to provide a little relief. He ignored it until Sunday morning 1:00 a.m. when the pain became too severe and went to the ER for assistance. He was given an antispasmodic and pain medication. It was not appendicitis, of course.
If it is in place other causes of abdominal pain should be considered depending on the precise location of the pain. Reflux disease, appendicitis, PID, kidney stones, twisted ovarian cyst are few common causes of abdominal pain. For exact diagnosis and management a clinical examination and ultrasound abdomen is necessary. Do write to me again.
Best luck and take care!
Old cement is difficult to remove if you don't have the right equipment. (Ultrasonic scaler, ultrasonic cleaner, or air abrasion.) Better to have it professionally done.
Hi, appendicitis is usually a clinical diagnosis. This is correlated with imaging studies and blood tests. The pain in appendicitis generally starts around the umbilicus and moves to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. Now you can consult a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist for this problem. As we do not maintain a directory of doctors we may not be able to help you. You can talk to your insurance agents they may be able to direct you appropriately. Regards.
According to WebMD diagnosing appendicitis can be tricky:
"Symptoms of appendicitis are frequently vague or extremely similar to other ailments, including gallbladder problems, bladder or urinary tract infection, Crohn's disease, gastritis, intestinal infection, and ovary problems.
The following tests are usually used to make the diagnosis.
Last night I started having a dull pain on the right side of my abdomen, across from my belly button, it went away today but came back around lunch time. It went away again and now at 2am it has come back. I pressed on my stomach a bit and it send a shooting pain through my belly button area. Its not SUPER painful, just more of a discomfort. I've also started urinating WAY more in the past hour and I'm not sure if its related but my knees began aching REALLY bad out of nowhere.
I have recently been experiencing right side pain and mentioned it to my GP. He sent me for a CT which confirmed mild appendicitis. Don't have typical appendicitis symptoms other than pain and some nausea. My doc says to get it taken out. I went for a consult with a general surgeon and he said he isn't 100% that's my appendix since I don't have all the acute symptoms. He said there is no such thing as chronic appendicitis and my doc says "oh yes there is". UGH...
Secondly, possibility of irritable bowel syndrome is also there. Diagnosis is made on basis of clinical evaluation.In this abdominal pain along with alternating diarrhea and constipation are there.
Thirdly, appendicitis has to be ruled out. This possibility is rare as pain of appendicitis is severe and is associated with vomitings and fever.
Fourthly, Crohn’s disease can be the cause of this pain.
When I had appendecitis I woke up in pain with a lot of abdominal pressure and was admitted for surgery that day. It felt like I was really constipated or something (sorry TMI), and was nauseous. It sounds like the pain you are having is more likely related to the pcos. I have had ovarian cysts in the past and it felt a lot like what you are describing. I'm not an expert, just my personal experience.
Allergic reactions do need a lot of exclusion and deductions t find out the real cause. I am not sure if this may have caused the contact ds in your case, but I am sure that based on my clinical experience, allergies may develop to any substance which may be present in the environment. This may be chemicals which have not caused any allergies previously, but taken in combination with a different chemical, the body may generate an allergic reaction.
Therefore I do not rule out this occurence.
