Appendicitis can affect physical health. Pregnant women's bodies are very fragile, so attention should be paid to preventing the occurrence of some diseases. Appendicitis is more common during pregnancy, but the symptoms are not obvious and may not be detected in a timely manner, which may delay treatment time and make the condition more serious. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to discernment. So, how to detect appendicitis during pregnancy?
The examination for appendicitis during pregnancy can include B-ultrasound and blood routine tests. In addition, some symptoms can also be manifested. If it is acute appendicitis, the common symptom is pain in the lower right abdomen, and pregnant women do not understand which part of the abdomen is painful. As the condition progresses, there may be a transfer to the lower right abdomen, and when the pain occurs, there may be symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
After a pregnant woman suffers from appendicitis, there is not much change in body temperature, so it cannot be diagnosed. If there is an appendiceal perforation or other inflammation, the body temperature will increase significantly. Pregnant women should receive formal treatment as soon as possible, and at the same time, take good care of themselves to reduce the harm caused by the disease.
Due to the special physiological conditions of pregnant women, the difficulty of diagnosing diseases increases. The uterus of pregnant women becomes larger, leading to confusion of pain symptoms. During blood tests, the white blood cell count of pregnant women is higher than that of normal people, making it difficult to make correct judgments. In addition, pregnant women already have symptoms such as nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort, which are somewhat similar to those of appendicitis, making it difficult to diagnose.
