Which part does a girl feel pain in due to appendicitis?

As we all know, there are many causes of appendicitis. It is a common surgical disease, which is more common in young people and more common in men than in women. Clinically, acute appendicitis is relatively common and can occur in women of all ages. Many people are not particularly clear about the location of appendicitis, especially the location of appendicitis in women. The following will introduce to you the location of the pain in women with appendicitis.

Appendicitis is usually located in the lower right side of the abdomen, whether it is a man or a woman. There are many factors that lead to appendicitis, the main one being infection caused by food residues, fecal stones, and hair clumps entering the appendix. Nowadays, appendicitis is usually treated with surgery, which completely removes the appendix and allows the patient to recover after a period of rest. However, you cannot judge that you have appendicitis based solely on the symptom of abdominal pain. It may also be caused by abdominal trauma. It is best to see a doctor.

Causes of appendicitis

1. Acute appendicitis

(1) Obstruction: The appendix is ​​a long, thin tube that is connected to the cecum at only one end. Once obstructed, secretions may accumulate in the lumen, increasing the internal pressure and compressing the appendix wall, which may hinder distal blood flow. On this basis, bacteria in the lumen invade the damaged mucosa and easily cause infection.

(2) The main cause of infection is direct infection caused by bacteria in the appendix cavity. If the appendix mucosa is slightly damaged, bacteria will invade the wall of the tube and cause infection of varying degrees.

(3) Other factors believed to be related to the onset of the disease include visceral nerve reflexes caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction such as diarrhea and constipation, which lead to spasms of the appendix muscles and blood vessels, resulting in stenosis of the appendix lumen, obstruction of blood supply, damage to the mucosa, and bacterial invasion, leading to acute inflammation.

2. Chronic appendicitis

Clinically, it can be roughly divided into two categories: recurrent appendicitis and chronic appendicitis. The former is mostly caused by the failure to completely eliminate the residual infection during the acute appendicitis attack, resulting in the prolonged illness. The latter has no history of acute appendicitis, and the symptoms are vague and the signs are often unclear.

Location of appendicitis symptoms: There is a migratory right lower abdominal pain, which starts in the upper abdomen or around the navel for several hours or is fixed in the right lower abdomen for 24 hours, with pain caused by pressing and rebound pain and abdominal muscle tension. Later, there will be fatigue, fever, headache and general discomfort. Generally, surgical treatment is not necessary with conservative treatment.

The anatomical position of the appendix is ​​at the line connecting the right anterior superior iliac ridge and the middle and outer 1/3 of the navel, that is, at the lower right point of the abdomen.

Location of appendicitis

The appendix, the site where appendicitis occurs, is a degenerate organ in the human body (the appendix of herbivores is very developed), about 7-9 cm long and 0.5 cm in diameter. It is located in the lower right side of the abdomen, inside the cecum, with the proximal end connected to the cecum and the distal end closed. Because the appendix cavity is small and it is a blind tube. Food residues and fecal stones can easily fall into the cavity, blocking the lumen and causing inflammation. The surface projection is called MacBurney's point, which is located at the junction of the outer and middle 1/3 of the line from the right anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus. This point is tender in appendicitis.
