9. What Are the Treatments for Chronic Appendicitis?
When chronic appendicitis becomes severe or turns into acute appendicitis, surgery may be necessary to fix it. Surgery involves either the draining of pus from the appendix or the removal of the appendix itself. Removal is meant to solve the problems experienced by the patient by preventing future infection. Antibiotics may also be prescribed.
There may be multiple options available to a person suffering from appendicitis, including different choices for less-invasive styles of surgery. The patient should communicate and voice their concerns to their doctor in order to get the help they need.
