Appendicitis
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix — a small finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine — that requires prompt surgical removal. It is one of the most common surgical emergencies worldwide, most frequently affecting young adults. A perforated (ruptured) appendix is life-threatening and demands immediate intervention. Iswarya Hospital performs laparoscopic appendectomy — a minimally invasive procedure with 3 small incisions, significantly less pain, and same-day or next-day discharge. 24×7 emergency surgical and anaesthesia teams ensure rapid response.
⚠️ Common Symptoms
- Sudden pain that begins around the navel and migrates to the right lower abdomen
- Pain worsened by movement, coughing, or deep breathing
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low-grade fever progressing to high fever
- Loss of appetite
- Rebound tenderness (pain when pressure is suddenly released from the abdomen)
🚨 When to See a Doctor
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above — especially if they are severe, persistent, or worsening — consult a specialist immediately. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes. Don't self-diagnose or delay care.
