¿Será APENDICITIS ese dolor? Síntomas reales + estudios para decidir cirugía

Don't undergo unnecessary surgery: learn to identify the real symptoms of "Acute Appendicitis" and when that pain on your right side is an emergency. Avoid common mistakes, learn about the tests that confirm the diagnosis, and recognize warning signs to act in time. I'm Dr. Amilkar Suárez Pupo, and this is my channel, Vital Surgeries EC. In this video, I share a practical tool to describe your pain and guide the diagnosis: A-L-I-C-I-A (Onset, Location, Intensity, Characteristic, Radiation, Relief). I also offer tips for collaborating with your specialist and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. What you will learn: • Key symptoms: pain that may start near the navel and migrate to the right iliac fossa, loss of appetite, nausea/vomiting, low-grade fever that may increase. When to go to the emergency room. • Key symptoms: pain that may start near the navel and migrate to the right iliac fossa, loss of appetite, nausea/vomiting, low-grade fever that may increase. When to go to the emergency room. • Examination and tests: what the doctor evaluates (pain upon release of pressure, rigidity), and what tests/imaging are usually ordered. • Imaging that prevents errors: ultrasound is the first option in children; in adults, CT is very accurate; in pregnancy, ultrasound and MRI. Adequate imaging reduces negative appendectomies from approximately 25% to approximately 1-3%. Don't have surgery unnecessarily: confirm with good imaging. • What NOT to do if you suspect appendicitis: do not use hot compresses, enemas, or laxatives; seek immediate medical attention to prevent peritonitis.
