Appendicitis
Are You Looking for an Appendicitis Surgeon in Mohali, Panchkula, or Chandigarh?
Sudden, sharp pain in your lower right abdomen? Nausea, vomiting, or unexplained fever? These may be warning signs of appendicitis, a surgical emergency that requires prompt intervention. At Fortis Hospital, Mohali, we offer immediate diagnosis and expert surgical care for appendicitis, led by veteran general and laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Rajeev Kapoor, a trusted name in advanced abdominal surgeries across the region.
What Is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix—a small, finger-like pouch attached to the large intestine. It often occurs due to blockage, infection, or buildup of mucus, causing the appendix to swell and eventually rupture if not treated in time.
A ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis, a life-threatening infection of the abdominal cavity. Hence, early diagnosis and surgical removal (appendectomy) are critical.
Common Symptoms of Appendicitis
- Sudden pain around the navel that shifts to the lower right abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal bloating or tenderness
- Low-grade fever that may worsen
- Difficulty passing gas or bowel movements
If you or someone you care for experiences these symptoms, especially if the pain intensifies over time, seek emergency care without delay.
