What causes appendicitis?
1. What is the cause of appendicitis? Appendicitis is mostly caused by infection. The appendix is a slender tube with only one end connected to the cecum. Once there is obstruction, there will be a lot of secretions in the lumen, and the internal pressure will increase, which will press the appendix wall and hinder the blood supply at the distal end. If bacteria invade the damaged mucosa in the lumen, it is easy to cause infection. Most people will block the appendix cavity because of fecal stones, leading to infection and inflammation.
Second, how do people prevent appendicitis? In daily life, we should prevent appendicitis and avoid overeating, because it can easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and lead to indigestion. When the intestinal contents are too much, it will cause the abdominal pressure to rise, and some small food scraps may enter the appendix and cause inflammation. At the same time, we should avoid fatigue and catch cold, which may easily lead to gastrointestinal bacterial infection. Cold in the abdomen will lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and decreased defense ability. Be sure to ensure food safety, corruption, mildew or mildew.
Third, what harm does appendicitis do to people? Long-term recurrent appendicitis can easily lead to chronic appendicitis. After the acute phase, it will cause repeated pain in the right lower abdomen, even abnormal digestive function and emaciation, which is easy to cause local adhesion, and even intestinal obstruction and abscess around the appendix. It is also likely to develop into appendiceal cancer, mainly caused by long-term attack of appendicitis. And many people will gradually absorb and wrap their faces after conservative treatment.
