Is it true that food grains causes appendicitis?

During this time many people think of the appendix occurs because often eat the seeds that are difficult to chew soft.

Indeed appendicitis occurs because there is a blockage in this region. This blockage most often is from the remnants of food in the form of feces or feces.

Leftover food and feces are hardened would be trapped in the hole cavity causing a blockage. This blockage makes bacteria or viruses trapped in the appendix that can trigger an infection. Well, this is what makes infection appendicitis.

Diagnosis

Dr. A. Sigit Tjahyono, Sp.B, Sp.BTKV (K) said tests done to diagnose it is anamnesis (frequently asked questions) equipped with supporting tests such as urinalisa (to distinguish from other diseases such as bladder stones) and ultrasound (to see an infected appendix or any liquids such as puffy.)

If the chronic inflammation of the appendix, the symptoms of abdominal pain that is felt only mild or even just feel nauseous. But if it is acute, then it will feel flank pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Within 24 hours usually felt fever and emerging persistent pain in the lower right abdomen.

For acute appendicitis, surgery should be done immediately since there is the possibility of rupture of the appendix. While for chronic appendicitis operation time can still be postponed depending on the patient’s condition, but advised not to postpone it too long.
