It is quite a tricky disease. This is because its symptoms are very much similar to those of the gallbladder issues, urinary tract infections (UTI), gastritis, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this condition, the acute\/chronic inflammation leads to severe pain in your gastro-vascular region. Also, this inflammation is a result of bacterial infections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While the appendix comes with no discernible function, its disease has been found in around 0.34 per cent of school-going children in the country. Talking of adults, around 0.25 per cent of the Indian population suffers from this condition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Causes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7960 size-full alignright\" style=\"width: 290px; height: 290px;\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1.png\" alt=\"Appendicitis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog-revamp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/13013406\/Appendicitis2-1-1024x1024-1-1-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>Along with the purpose, causes of the appendix\u2019s disease are also not known very well. However, a few known causes of appendicitis are as mentioned below. Again, there can also be multiple reasons of the health condition.<\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Abdominal trauma or injury<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Enlarged lymphoid follicles<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Tumours<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Blockage at the connection point between the appendix and the intestines<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Inflammatory bowel disease<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Digestive tract infection<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Growths inside the organ<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The blockage inside the appendicular tube causes the breeding of bacteria. This results in pus formation and thereby develops an excess amount of pressure inside the organ. As a result, this leads to severe pain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Appendicitis Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The major symptom of appendicitis is severe pain in the abdomen. There are several other symptoms, which may come suddenly and worsen with time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here are the other main signs of appendicitis:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Pain or tenderness in the abdomen; it worsens when the individual sneezes, coughs, moves or inhales<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>A swollen belly<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Inability to pass gas<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Low-grade fever<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Loss of appetite, i.e., not feeling hungry when you otherwise want to have food<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Prevent Appendicitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are no proven ways to prevent this health condition. However, keeping a healthy way of life can help. This involves having the right diet and a balanced one too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Now, there are certain food items known to be good to prevent diseases such as appendicitis. Some of the foods you should consume are:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Oats, wheat gram as breakfast cereals<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose flour<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Fresh fruits as desserts after lunch\/dinner<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Brown rice in place of the white one<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Again, as there are foods preventing the disease, there are foods that worsen the condition too. So, here are some food items you should avoid:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Fried foods as they\u2019re fatty and they can irritate digestive system<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Red meat as it is again fatty and tough to digest<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Alcohol as it harms the liver and hence affects digestion<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Cakes, pastries and related items as they have too much sugar<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Appendicitis is curable at the initial stage. So, get a timely-check up done to know the potential health risks being posed to your body. It will save you from further pain, tension and heavy medical expenses.
