A word from Dr. Naresh

Sudden abdominal pain is frightening, for patients and families alike. The most important thing is not to wait at home with painkillers while the pain gets worse.

My job in those first hours is to find the cause quickly and calmly, and to operate only when surgery is truly the safest option. You and your family will know what's happening at every step.

Dr. Naresh VeerankiGeneral, laparoscopic and laser surgeon

What is appendicitis treatment?

Pain moving from the navel to the lower right belly. Needs same-day assessment. Through examination, blood tests and an ultrasound or CT scan.

How it's treated, from simplest to most involved

  1. 1

    Keyhole appendix removal

    The standard treatment for most people, through 3 small cuts.

  2. 2

    Antibiotics first

    For selected, uncomplicated cases, with close monitoring.

  3. 3

    Drainage, then later surgery

    If an abscess has formed around the appendix, it's drained first and the appendix removed after it settles.

The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about appendicitis treatment, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for appendicitis treatment?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

You may benefit if

  • Pain that begins around the navel, then moves to the lower right belly
  • Pain worse on walking, coughing or going over bumps
  • Loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting
  • A mild fever
  • In children and older people, symptoms can be vague, so trust your instinct

When to wait or plan carefully

  • Mild pain that's settling, with no fever or vomiting, after you've been assessed
  • Some uncomplicated cases can first be treated with antibiotics under close watch
2Step-by-step: how it is done
  1. 1

    Assessment

    History, examination, blood and urine tests, and an ultrasound or CT scan if needed.

  2. 2

    Decision

    You'll be told whether surgery, antibiotics or observation is safest, and why.

  3. 3

    If surgery is needed

    Usually keyhole, under general anaesthesia, within hours of the decision.

  4. 4

    Recovery in hospital

    Typically 1 to 3 days, depending on how inflamed things were.

3Day-by-day recovery timeline and what to expect

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do you know it's appendicitis?

Through examination, blood tests and an ultrasound or CT scan. Kidney stones, gynaecological problems and stomach infections can all mimic it, so tests help avoid unnecessary surgery.

Can antibiotics treat it without surgery?

For selected, uncomplicated cases, antibiotics alone can work, but about a third of people have another attack within a few years. Surgery remains the definitive treatment and is recommended for most.

What if the appendix bursts?

A burst appendix spreads infection inside the abdomen. It's still treatable with surgery and antibiotics, but recovery takes longer, which is why it's best not to wait.

Can I take painkillers and wait at home?

Please don't wait at home if the pain is getting worse. Painkillers can hide how the illness is progressing.

Do we need the appendix?

No. Living without it has no known effect on health.

Is appendicitis different in pregnancy?

The pain may be higher up. It needs urgent assessment and can be treated safely.

When can my child go back to school?

Usually within a week after an uncomplicated keyhole operation.

What is the cost of appendicitis treatment in Vijayawada?

The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover appendicitis treatment.
