A member asked:
How would i know if i have appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RIGHT LOWER QUADRANT: The classic presentation of appendicitis is a vague discomfort that starts about the navel, which then locates into the right lower quadrant over 10-16 hrs .Nausea, loss of appetite, and fever are also associated. Diarrhea is usually not associated with appendicitis. A good exam, white cell count, and, sometimes , cat scan help make the diagnosis. Surgery is then needed. Good luck.
