Can appendicitis cause pelvic effusion?

1. Appendicitis usually causes pelvic effusion, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment.

2. Appendicitis is one of the common acute abdominal diseases. Under normal circumstances, the appendix is ​​connected to the colon, and the distal end is a blind end. When the appendix is ​​blocked, the large number of bacteria in the dead space formed at the distal end indicates the release of toxins, which may damage the tube wall and form ulcers. When the ulcer invades the muscular layer, it will cause an increase in the interstitial pressure of the appendix wall, leading to blood flow obstruction, insufficient blood supply to the appendix, necrosis, and appendicitis.

3. It will cause pain in the right lower abdomen of the patient. If the patient is not treated in time, the condition will worsen and affect the surrounding tissues, causing the surrounding omentum and small intestine to exude tissue fluid. When it accumulates to the peritoneum and greater omentum, it usually causes fluid exudation and pelvic effusion into the pelvic cavity. Timely treatment is required. It can be treated under the guidance of a doctor through laparoscopic appendectomy, abdominal appendectomy, etc. If pelvic effusion is formed, drugs such as penicillin V potassium tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and cefuroxime capsules can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Patients should avoid strenuous activities during the treatment process to avoid affecting the recovery of the wound. At the same time, ensure adequate sleep and rest. If conditions permit, get up as soon as possible and perform appropriate rehabilitation training to promote recovery from the disease.
