Frequently Asked Questions
Appendicitis pain usually begins vaguely around the belly button and moves to the lower right abdomen over 12-24 hours. The area becomes extremely tender to touch, and coughing or walking worsens the pain.
Yes. While antibiotics may temporarily suppress mild early inflammation, the risk of recurrence and sudden catastrophic rupture is very high. Surgery is the definitive, safe treatment.
Rupture can happen as early as 24-36 hours after pain begins. A burst appendix leads to severe peritonitis, bloodstream infection (sepsis), and prolonged hospitalization.
When performed before perforation, patients are usually discharged within 24 hours and resume normal daily activities within 4 to 6 days.
