@smart.doctor: 🛑 Appendicitis 💉🪱| Inflammation, Perforation, Surgery. @Dr. Bahaa Dmour ────────── Appendicitis often starts when the opening of the appendix becomes blocked. Once trapped inside, bacteria can multiply quickly, causing the appendix to swell, become inflamed, and fill with pus. As pressure rises, blood flow to the appendix may decrease, making the wall weaker and increasing the risk of rupture. This is why appendicitis is treated as a medical emergency. If the appendix bursts, infected material can spread inside the abdomen and lead to serious complications. In many cases, surgeons perform an appendectomy, removing the infected appendix before the infection spreads further. This animation shows the key steps clearly: blockage, inflammation, infection, surgical separation from the large intestine, and safe removal from the body. A small organ — but when inflamed, it cannot be ignored. 🩺 ────────── #Appendicitis #Appendectomy #MedicalAnimation #Smartdoctor1 #DrBahaaDmour
