Appendicitis and homoeopathy

#Appendicitis and #homoeopathy

Appendix is a small organ located in our intestine, scientists have not discover the function of appendix, but I say God does not keep an organ inside us useless it has some function may be in future we will find

Inflammation to appendix is appendicitis

Common Aetiology
♦ It is common in young males.
♦ It is common in white races.
♦ Fibre rich diet prevents appendicitis. Less fibre diet
increases chance of appendicitis.
♦ It is common in May and August—seasonal variation—
often called as epidemic appendicitis.
♦ Viral infection may cause mucosal oedema and infl am-
mation which later gets infected by bacteria causing
appendicitis.
♦ Family history may be relevant in 30% of appendicitis in
children with appendicitis occurring in fi rst degree relatives.
♦ Obstruction of the lumen of appendix causing obstructive
appendicitis.
-
Blockage occurs due to—faecoliths, stricture, foreign
body, round worm or threadworm.
-
Adhesions and kinking—carcinoma caecum near the
base, ileocaecal Crohn’s disease.
♦ Distal colonic obstruction.
♦ Abuse of purgatives.
♦ Faecolith is the most common cause.

Types are acute and chronic stage

Some have sudden onset and some have no symptoms for longer period

Types
1. Acute nonobstructive appendicitis (catarrhal):
Infl ammation of mucous membrane occurs with redness,
oedema and haemorrhages which may go for following
courses:
-
Resolution.
-
Ulceration.
-
Fibrosis.
-
Suppuration.
-
Recurrent appendicitis.
-
Gangrene—rare initially in nonobstructive type but
later can occur.
-
Peritonitis.

♦ After perforation → localisation by greater omentum and
dilated ileum occurs → with suppuration and pus inside
forming appendicular abscess.
♦ In severe acute appendicitis → localisation can occur by
omentum and dilated ileum without pus inside → forming
appendicular mass.
♦ Acute appendicitis with blockage at the opening of the
lumen → infl ammation rarely subsides → mucus collects
inside the lumen of the appendix resulting in its enlargement
→ Mucocele of the appendix.

Clinical feature

Murphy’s triad
-
Pain
-
Vomiting
-
Temperature

And other symptoms are constipation urinary troubles etc

Treatment

In some cases we need immediate surgery before the perforations or gangrene starts

In some cases if it's a chronic one or an initial stage of appendicitis we can treat with homoeopathy medicine by controlling the pain vomiting and temperature and reduce the inflammation of it and get cured easily and permanently

Many homoeopathy drugs acts on appendix so find early start homoeopathy or delay it suffer with surgery
