00:00If you eat this tomato, you'll get appendicitis.
00:15Hey! Don't sleep there. Just eat. You'll get appendicitis.
00:20Dear friends, have you ever been told this by your elders?
00:2629-year-old Edward can relate to this.
00:31He grew up being told to be careful not to get appendicitis.
00:36That's why he was shocked one day when he felt severe pain.
00:42When I woke up, my lower abdomen on the right side hurt.
00:46The pain is different. It's not too painful.
00:49What will happen is that you won't be able to stand straight.
00:52But the pain is tolerable. It's like something is pressing on the abdomen.
00:59That's how it feels.
01:01Edward consulted a doctor because of Chan's pain.
01:06This is when he found out that he has appendicitis or appendicitis.
01:13To be more clear, we all have appendix.
01:16This is the small-shaped organ found in the uterus, the primary part of the large intestine.
01:22It produces antibodies in the first five years of our lives.
01:26Although appendix is not used in our body when we grow old,
01:30if it is infected or not, it has a dangerous effect on a person.
01:36If you don't eat fruit and vegetables, or you don't jump or play after eating,
01:41you'll have appendicitis.
01:42Appendix grows when there is a fecal leaf that grows here.
01:46Because the appendix is close to the large intestine,
01:49sometimes it is not expected that a little dirt will go from the intestine to here.
01:54When dirt is collected, it will harden until it becomes a stone.
01:58This is what becomes fecal leaf, which becomes appendicitis.
02:03Our appendix is a blind spot.
02:06It means that it has only one hole.
02:08If a dirt goes through that hole,
02:11the bacteria inside the appendix will not come out.
02:15How can we know if appendicitis is the cause of pain in the intestine?
02:20First, the pain will be felt in the middle of the intestine.
02:24Then, the pain will be transferred to the upper right part of the intestine.
02:28Then, the pain will be transferred to the lower right part of the intestine.
02:32Then, the pain will be transferred to the upper right part of the intestine.
02:36The pain will get worse when it grows or when you try to walk.
02:53Appendicitis is easier to diagnose in a man.
02:57Why?
02:59Because if a woman has appendicitis,
03:02there are still many things that need to be ruled out.
03:05For example, she has ovaries that can cause pain,
03:09like appendicitis.
03:11She also has palo pentium.
03:13She also has other organs in her pelvis.
03:15Unlike males,
03:17if she has right lower quadrant pain,
03:20it is more or less appendicitis
03:22as long as you rule out urinary tract infection.
03:27At the moment,
03:29the operation is the only solution for people with appendicitis.
03:32The operation is called appendectomy
03:34where the appendix is removed.
03:36Edward joined the operation in 2011.
03:42First, you will remove or legate the appendicitis artery.
03:46That is the blood supply of the appendix.
03:48Once it is tied and legated,
03:50you will also legate it to the base,
03:52to the take-off from the sacrum.
03:54You will tie it or clip it with a laparoscopy.
03:57Once you clip the base,
03:59you can cut the appendix.
04:05Edward was lucky
04:07because he was operated on
04:09before his appendix burst.
04:11It is possible that there will be a serious complication
04:13if it is not removed.
04:15Once the appendix bursts,
04:17it will spread inside the abdomen
04:20or the patient's stomach
04:22that will cause infection,
04:24sepsis,
04:25and eventually death
04:27if it is not removed.
04:29It is inevitable to have appendicitis,
04:31especially for people aged between 10 and 30.
04:36To avoid this,
04:38Doc recommends
04:40that people who have a good diet
04:42should avoid having appendicitis,
04:44like those who eat a high-fiber diet.
04:46Always remember
04:48that the simple illness you are experiencing
04:50should not be ignored.
04:52It should not be tolerated.
04:53Be patient
04:55and consult your doctor immediately.
