Appendectomy symptoms - what symptoms should I see a surgeon with?

- Early Symptoms of Appendicitis

Appendicitis usually begins with pain in the middle part of the abdomen, which after a few hours moves to the lower right side of the abdomen - the location of the appendix.

The initial pain may be mild, but it usually gradually increases. Unlike other abdominal complaints, appendicitis pain usually does not go away or change, but becomes more intense and concentrated.

- Additional Symptoms

In addition to the characteristic pain, there are other symptoms that often accompany appendicitis:

Loss of appetite: appendicitis often causes loss of appetite, which can be one of the first signs of inflammation.

Fever and chills: as the inflammation progresses, mild fever (about 37.7°C - 38.3°C) and chills may occur.

Changes in urination: frequent urination, pain when urinating, or difficulty urinating may be symptoms of appendicitis.

Vomiting and nausea: in some cases, nausea and vomiting may occur.

Increased abdominal distension: the abdomen becomes bloated and hard.

- When is a surgical consultation necessary?

The above symptoms indicate that you require immediate medical intervention. If you are experiencing intense abdominal pain, especially in the lower right abdomen, contact your doctor or go to the emergency department.

An ingrown toenail - don't underestimate it!

An ingrown toenail is a problem that most patients underestimate. Initially, the pain does not interfere with their movement or touch. However, over time, the problem intensifies and can cause an infection that can even be life-threatening.

What is the symptom of an ingrown toenail? The first and most obvious symptom of an ingrown nail is pain, especially when pressing or wearing tight shoes. The pain is usually worse when walking or standing.

The skin around an ingrown nail often becomes red. This redness is caused by irritation of the skin just from the ingrown nail. Swelling may occur around the ingrown nail.

Cutting skin lesions - which lesions must be seen by a surgeon?

- Nevi

Nevi are often innocuous and pose no health risk. They occur in most people and can take a variety of forms, from small, flat spots to larger, convex formations. However, in some cases, moles can become cancerous. Particularly worrisome are those that change their shape, size, color or begin to bleed.

- Warts

Warts, which are small, tiny nodules that are often the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although many warts can disappear on their own, some can become painful or cause discomfort. If this is the case, they can be removed by a doctor using cryotherapy (freezing), electrocoagulation (burning), or medication for prescription online.

- Cysts

Cysts are closed capsules filled with fluid, air or other substance that can form in various parts of the body, including the skin. Many cysts are painless and pose no health risks. However, some cysts can cause pain and discomfort, especially if they become large or burst. If this is the case, the doctor may decide to remove them surgically.
