What causes right pelvic pain?

It is recommended to go to the hospital to check whether there is appendicitis or intestinal disease? Do a color ultrasound of the abdomen to see if there is any pain caused by appendicitis. It is recommended to do a pelvic color ultrasound or pelvic CT to see if there is any pelvic effusion, whether it is pelvic inflammatory disease, or gynecological inflammation. Only after the cause is found can a clear diagnosis be made, and only after a clear diagnosis can symptomatic treatment be given.

Symptoms of appendicitis

1. Gastrointestinal symptoms

Most children experience loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting at the beginning of the disease, and some children have constipation or diarrhea.

2. Fever

Generally, fever will occur a few hours after the onset of the disease, and as the disease progresses, the body temperature will rise to 38 to 39 degrees or even higher.

3. Tenderness in the right lower abdomen

Tenderness in the right lower abdomen is a reliable sign of appendicitis. If there is also muscle tension and resistance, then the diagnosis is clearer.

4. Abdominal pain

This is the most common symptom. The characteristic of abdominal pain in appendicitis is migratory abdominal pain, which means that it starts with pain around the navel in the upper abdomen, and then moves to the lower right abdomen after a few hours or half a day. The pain is usually persistent and may worsen in intermittent periods. The children often lie on their side with their right legs bent and dare not walk with their backs straight. Infants often express abdominal pain by crying in paroxysms. The children often stay in bed and dare not move or groan and refuse to eat.

5. Abdominal muscle tension

This sign will appear when the appendix becomes purulent, and the abdominal muscle tension will be particularly obvious when gangrene perforation is complicated by peritonitis. However, the abdominal muscles of elderly or obese patients are weaker, so the contralateral abdominal muscles must be checked at the same time for comparison to determine whether there is abdominal tension.

6. Skin allergy

In the early stages, especially when there is obstruction in the appendix cavity, skin hyperesthesia in the right lower abdomen may occur. The range is equivalent to the innervation area of ​​the 10th to 12th thoracic cord segments, located in the triangle formed by the highest point of the right iliac crest, the right pubic crest and the umbilicus, also known as Sherren's triangle. It does not change due to the position of the appendix. If the appendix is ​​gangrenous and perforated, the skin hyperesthesia in this triangle will disappear.
