Appendicitis pain

What is Appendix?

The appendix is a 3.5 inch long, narrow tube of tissues which is close-ended and has a worm-like appearance. It extends from the large intestine. In fact, it attaches to the first part of the colon i.e. cecum. The vermiform appendix is known to be the anatomical name of the appendix, and it signifies worm-like appearance.

Whether the appendix has a crucial role in the body functions or not is not yet clear. Some studies state that, in children, the appendix may have a role of immune function or gut immunity. However, nothing is definite. The removal of appendix does not cause any major, chronic health issues, even though a little aggravation in some ailments is observed, such as Crohn’s disease.

What is Appendicitis?

Inflammation of the appendix is known as appendicitis. As a matter of fact, acute appendicitis is known to be a medical emergency which needs a surgical procedure promptly to remove the inflamed appendix from the body. If appendicitis is left untreated, this inflamed appendix would eventually burst or perforate by spilling out the infectious matter into the cavity of the abdomen. As a result, it can cause peritonitis, which is a very serious condition occurring due to the inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity (i.e. peritoneum), which can be fatal if it’s not treated immediately with strong antibiotics.

Causes of Appendicitis:

Appendicitis occurs when the appendix of the individual gets blocked by the hard-fecal matter (i.e. stool), a foreign body, undigested food, or, in rare cases, a tumor. As it gets blocked, inflammation of the appendix occurs due to the resulting swelling and ulceration of the lining of the mucous membrane and ultimately leads to appendicitis. If such a blockage of appendix continues, bacteria infect the inflamed tissue and it begins to die due to a poor supply of blood. Finally, it leads to the rupture of the appendix (ruptured or perforated appendix).

Besides this, infection occurring in the gut or any other body part too may cause the inflammation of the appendix and lead to appendicitis.

Homeopathic Management of Appendicitis:

Usually, homeopathy is recommended in the early stages. However, acute appendicitis may need a surgical intervention where the scope of homeopathy is limited.

Homeopathy is rather indicated in chronic and recurrent appendicitis. Homeopathic medicines may help in obtaining a complete recovery and strengthening the immunity of the affected individual.

So, count on homeopathy without a second thought for a complete recovery from appendicitis and an increase in immunity. Obtain a great relief and recovery with homeopathy effectively without any side-effects.

  1. I’m recommending Dr Osato to everyone who has herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2022 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testified how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Osato herbal medicine. I quickly contacted Dr Osato and explained my problem to him and he prepared the herbs and sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and told me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taking the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested, the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that I am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Osato for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is a cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Osato on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him. Email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2347051705853.
