07-11-2017 Tue 12:27

It is a small part of the abdomen. A slight problem can upset it .It is referred to as '24-hr stomach-ache.' Let us learn about the tail-like feature, hanging from the large intestine, called appendix, its problems, effects and treatment.
Appendicitis

Symptoms
When there is appendicitis, appetite wanes, there is nausea or vomiting and general feeling of illness. Then slight pain begins in the navel or in the area surrounding it. Then the pain spreads to the lower abdominal region and intensifies. Stomach appears inflamed. Fever, ranging between 99 to 102 degrees, will occur. Though the pain is indicated in navel region, it telegraphs to the surrounding parts. The pain becomes severe, within 24 hours. That is why it is called '24-hr. stomach-ache.'
Detecting the problem

Dangerous if delayed
Appendicitis should be treated immediately. In a majority of the cases, the appendix is removed through surgery. This is the primary operation that is in practice, all over the world. When neglected, the appendix will burst or it will be perforated. Then, harmful material enters the abdominal region. This might lead to another serious inflammatory condition, called peritonitis. It is dangerous if appendix is not removed immediately through surgery. Some studies concluded that if the problem is detected in early stage, an antibiotic treatment cures the condition. While the appendix is removed in almost all cases in America, antibiotics are used to cure some mild appendix cases in Europe.
Appendectomy

Prevention
If appendicitis is suspected, a physician (MD) has to be consulted. If the condition is detected, he will refer to a specialist. There are no preventive measures for appendicitis. However, it has been noticed that people who eat a lot of fibre-rich food, can avoid this problem.
Is Appendix useful?
Lymphatic muscles are seen in the inner walls of the Appendix. This is part of our immune system. There is no clarity over the fact that Appendix plays key role in infants and the aged people. It helps in prevention of diseases among those who are young. There is no proof that long term health problems occur after removal of appendix. It's absence does not affect life. Even though it is considered a Space Occupying Legion (SOL), some researchers stated that it is home for good bacteria. If there is any infection in the digestive system, it is useful to reboot it later, the studies said.
