Can appendicitis cause delayed menstruation?

The female uterus is a relatively sensitive organ in the body, and it will be affected by many factors before and after the menstrual period, such as poor mental state, long-term depression and helplessness, irregular diet, and reversed work and rest schedule, which can easily cause delayed menstruation and menstrual disorders. Apart from this, the biggest reason is inflammation. And appendicitis is also caused by inflammation. Inflammation in the body is metastatic, so appendicitis can cause delayed menstruation.

Does appendicitis affect menstruation?

Generally speaking, it has little effect on menstruation, and don't worry if there is any impact. Once the body functions recover, they will return to normal. After the operation, pay attention to keeping a happy mood, stay in bed and rest, don't overwork, pay special attention to diet, don't eat greasy food, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and pay attention to maintaining good living habits.

There are many reasons why female friends experience menstrual disorders, so we must pay more attention to it in our daily lives. Pay more attention to diet and nutrition. Don't let yourself be too tired. It is best to rest more. Also, don't eat spicy and irritating foods.

Nowadays, many women often have very unhealthy diets due to high work pressure or being busy losing weight. Over time, many problems will arise in their physical condition, which may also lead to menstrual disorders, which is very bad.

Another thing is that we must not privately diagnose that chronic appendicitis has recurred just because of the pain in our lower right abdomen, and then start abusing or frequently using large amounts of antibiotics. This problem is especially bad for women, and will cause many gynecological diseases.

In addition, the usual drug treatment for chronic appendicitis can only relieve the current symptoms, but cannot cure it fundamentally. Our patients must be clear about this issue. Even if the symptoms are relieved now, recurrence is possible as long as it is not completely removed.

Precautions for appendicitis

After appendectomy surgery, you must be careful not to eat anything on the first day, except for water. You can eat some liquid food on the second day, and semi-liquid food on the third day. Generally, you can eat soft rice after about 5 days. Pay attention to the light diet and the temperature, not too hot or too cold.

Be careful not to bring coarse food residues into the liquid diet for ingestion. You cannot eat soups containing chicken or ham, nor soups containing vegetables, to avoid allowing coarse or hard substances to enter your stomach, just in case. You should also avoid eating foods high in crude fiber, such as celery, cabbage, etc., to avoid causing wear and tear on the wound. Generally, they can only be eaten after 9-10 days.

Pay attention to eating a light diet, do not eat greasy things, and avoid greasy food. Even if you feel better on the 10th day after surgery, do not consume greasy food too early. After the operation, you must keep warm and rest as your body will be weak during this period. The body's resistance is reduced and it is very easy to be infected by germs, so special attention needs to be paid.

Finally, we want to say that patients with chronic appendicitis should try to smoke less. They can supplement vitamin C in moderation, because vitamin C can reduce the harm of smoking to the body, which is very good.

You can eat more vegetables and fruits like broccoli and potatoes, which are very beneficial for the treatment of appendicitis, but don’t eat too greasy food or too much fried food, as these are not good.
