When Sudden Stomach Pain Means Danger — Acute Appendicitis Treatment by Dr. Karan R. Rawat, Agra’s Trusted Gastro & General Surgeon
A sudden, sharp pain in the lower right side of your abdomen can be frightening. Many people ignore the early signs, hoping it will go away — but acute appendicitis is a surgical emergency.
Delaying treatment can lead to severe infection, perforation (burst appendix), or life-threatening complications.
For thousands of families across Agra and nearby regions, the name they trust in such emergencies is Dr. Karan R. Rawat, a leading gastroenterologist, GI surgeon, and general surgeon known for safe, quick, and expert management of appendicitis.
📌 What Is Acute Appendicitis?
Acute Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine.
When blocked by infection, stool, or swelling, the appendix becomes dangerously inflamed and must be removed.
This surgery is called Appendectomy — and it saves lives.
⚠️ Symptoms of Acute Appendicitis You Should Never Ignore
✔ Sudden pain near the belly button shifting to the right lower abdomen
✔ Loss of appetite
✔ Nausea & vomiting
✔ Fever with chills
✔ Constipation or loose motions
✔ Abdominal bloating
✔ Increased pain on coughing, walking, or touching the abdomen
If these symptoms appear, immediate medical attention is crucial.
🧨 Why Acute Appendicitis Is Dangerous
If not treated quickly, the appendix can:
- Burst (perforate)
- Cause pus collection (abscess)
- Spread infection into the abdomen (peritonitis)
- Lead to life-threatening sepsis
This is why appendix surgery should not be delayed.
