Appendicitis or Gas? Don't Ignore the Difference

Call Now: +91 73535 30505



 Is it gas—or could it be appendicitis? Abdominal pain can have many causes, but persistent or worsening pain should not simply be dismissed as indigestion.


Gas and indigestion can cause bloating, fullness, cramps and abdominal discomfort. Appendicitis, however, often causes pain that begins around the belly button and moves toward the lower-right abdomen. The pain may become progressively worse and can be associated with nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite or fever.

Pain that becomes worse while walking, coughing or making sudden movements can also occur with appendicitis. Symptoms can vary, so you should not try to diagnose appendicitis based on symptoms alone.

When Should You See a Surgeon?

If abdominal pain is persistent, severe or getting worse—particularly when accompanied by fever, vomiting or significant tenderness—medical assessment is important. Diagnosis may involve a physical examination, blood or urine tests and imaging such as an ultrasound or CT scan.

Untreated appendicitis can sometimes progress to a burst or ruptured appendix, which can cause serious infection inside the abdomen.

Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery in Bangalore

When surgery is recommended, an appendectomy removes the inflamed appendix. Laparoscopic appendectomy uses small abdominal incisions and a camera and is commonly used when appropriate. The exact approach depends on the patient's condition and whether complications are present.

Dr. Uday Ravi, General, Laparoscopic & Laser Surgeon in Bangalore, lists laparoscopic appendectomy for inflamed or burst appendix among his surgical services.

If you're looking for appendicitis treatment in Bangalore, appendix surgery in Bangalore, or a laparoscopic surgeon in Bangalore, timely evaluation is an important first step.

Persistent or worsening abdominal pain? Don't assume it's just gas. Get evaluated by Dr. Uday Ravi and discuss the appropriate treatment for your condition.

3 Questions to Ask Your Surgeon Before Agreeing to Surgery!

Image
Call Now: +91 7353530505 Being told that you may need surgery can immediately lead to a long list of questions. Do I really need surgery?  Are there other treatment options? What will recovery actually be like?  Can I wait? What are the risks?  How soon can I return to work? These are reasonable questions—and patients should feel comfortable asking them. Before planned surgery, the goal should not be to simply understand the name of the procedure. You should understand why it is being recommended, what alternatives may exist and what you can realistically expect afterward. The NHS specifically recommends that patients discuss treatment alternatives, the reason surgery is being recommended, potential benefits and risks, who will perform the operation, anaesthesia, hospital stay and recovery before proceeding. Here are three questions that can help you have a more meaningful conversation with your surgeon. 1. Do I Definitely Need Surgery? This should be ...

A Corn on Your Foot Isn't Always “Just a Corn.”

Image
Call Now: +91 73535 30505 A small, hard patch on your foot may seem harmless. But if a foot corn is painful, keeps returning, or changes the way you walk, it may be a sign that something underneath the skin needs attention.   A corn is a localized area of thickened skin that commonly develops because of repeated pressure or friction, such as from footwear. Foot deformities can also create pressure points that contribute to recurring corns. Why Does a Corn Keep Coming Back? Simply removing the thickened skin may provide temporary relief. However, if the underlying pressure point, footwear problem or foot abnormality remains, the corn can return.   That's why recurring corns shouldn't always be treated as a cosmetic problem. Don't Try “Bathroom Surgery” Cutting or shaving a corn yourself can cause cuts, infection and further complications. This is particularly important for people with diabetes, because nerve damage can reduce sensation and make foot injuries harder to not...
