Pregnant women are prone to appendicitis.
After pregnancy, you are more likely to get sick because of uterine compression. If pregnant women have chronic appendicitis before pregnancy, after pregnancy, due to the oppression of the uterus, the substances in the appendix cavity can overflow, which is easy to cause acute attacks.
Pregnant women have different symptoms of appendicitis.
Acute appendicitis usually shows an obvious tenderness point in the right lower abdomen, but the uterus becomes bigger during pregnancy and the appendix shifts because the tenderness point also moves up. When pregnant women have appendicitis, abdominal wall tension and rebound pain are not obvious. Therefore, if pregnant women have gradually aggravated lower abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and other symptoms, do not blindly take various analgesic drugs, should go to the hospital in time.
Treatment needs to be cautious
Generally, except those with mild symptoms or undiagnosed symptoms, non-surgical treatments such as oral Chinese medicine decoction can be used, and other cases should be treated immediately. Whether it is non-surgical treatment or surgical treatment, measures should be taken to protect the fetus. At the same time, we should pay close attention to obstetric symptoms and signs. If the pregnancy is full-term during the operation and the parturient gives birth on her own after the operation, it can be handled according to the general obstetric principles, but the labor process should be shortened as much as possible to avoid maternal fatigue.
