Acute appendicitis has different clinical manifestations, so many other problems can be confused with it, for example, diseases of the kidneys, female reproductive system and intestines. Surgeon Alexander Rudnev spoke about this. According to him, among kidney diseases under the guise of appendicitis, exacerbation of urolithiasis most often occurs. When a stone passes from the organ through the ureter and gets stuck in it, a person may experience severe pain in the lower right abdomen, nausea and vomiting, which can also be symptoms of inflammation of the appendix. Some “female” diseases also have symptoms similar to appendicitis. For example, inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It may also be a ruptured cyst, requiring immediate medical attention. Some intestinal diseases can also be similar to appendicitis. For example, inflammation of the ileum, as well as enterocolitis of toxic or infectious etiology. With these problems, a person, as with inflammation of the appendix, will feel nausea, vomiting and sharp pain in the lower abdomen. There is another serious disease that may be similar to acute appendicitis – a perforated duodenal ulcer. The problem also requires immediate surgical intervention. Also, inflammation of diverticula (protrusions of the intestinal wall – note “VM”) of the small or large intestine has symptoms similar to acute appendicitis. Rudnev came to the conclusion that many dangerous diseases can arise from the appearance of appendicitis. He emphasized that the most dangerous thing for unclear abdominal pain is self-medication or self-diagnosis, Gazeta.Ru reports. Surgeon Nina Zubova listed the common causes of abdominal pain.
