Swelling in Appendix Treatment | अपेंडिक्स में सूजन का इलाज | Appendix ki sujan ka ilaj

In our previous videos, we've explored issues such as appendicitis and the surgical procedures involved. However, today's discussion centers on a situation where medical professionals inform you that immediate action cannot be taken due to significant swelling or infection in the appendix. In such cases, we find ourselves compelled to delay the surgery. This decision arises when the appendix infection persists for days or even hours after the onset of pain, leading to a gradual increase in swelling or the presence of pus.

Over time, the appendix and the surrounding areas, including the cecum, can become interconnected as a protective mechanism, preventing the infection from spreading throughout the abdominal cavity. However, if the surgery is not performed promptly, the infection or inflammation can intensify to the point where all these structures fuse together, forming what is known as an appendicular lump. A lump represents a complex entanglement of the appendix, cecum, omentum, and other nearby structures.

Complications may arise, such as injury to the small or large intestine, or leakage from these organs, potentially transforming a straightforward procedure into a major surgical intervention.

In such circumstances, medical professionals recommend hospitalization, the administration of medication, antibiotics, pain relievers, and intravenous fluids to gradually reduce swelling and infection. This postponement allows time for the inflammation to subside, usually spanning one to two months. Typically, doctors wait around 1.5 months from the onset of pain before considering surgery. For instance, if your pain began ten days ago, you may likely undergo surgery after 35 days from today. This approach minimizes the risks associated with the operation, resulting in improved outcomes and fewer complications.

In conclusion, we hope this video has provided you with insights into how to handle appendix swelling and why doctors sometimes opt to delay surgery. It's essential to heed any suspicions regarding your appendix and seek immediate medical attention. If a healthcare professional recommends an urgent operation, it's best to proceed promptly, as postponing the procedure can lead to increased complications and a potentially more invasive surgery. Thank you for your attention.
