Hello doctor! Currently, I discover that I have symptoms of appendicitis (abdominal distension, right abdominal pain when pressing or changing positions when lying down). Currently, I am studying abroad in the US until the end of May, I will return to Vietnam.

Appendectomy is a fairly common surgical procedure, indicated when the appendix becomes inflamed, causing severe pain in the abdomen. This is a fairly simple surgery, laparoscopic appendectomy can be done to reduce pain and shorten the healing time.

Dear doctor, about 1 month ago I had severe abdominal pain, and after going to the hospital, I was diagnosed with volvulus. After that, I had surgery and appendectomy, now my stomach is no longer painful but I always have loose stools sometimes with raw stool, very fishy smell. So, is it dangerous to go with loose stools with raw, fishy smell after appendicectomy? Thank you doctor for helping me!

3 months ago, I had appendicitis, but 1 week later I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with "appendiceal masses" and I was treated with drugs by doctors first, then 1 month after surgery. It's been 3 months so far. So the doctor asked me if my appendicitis turned into a bunch of appendix, I need surgery again? Thank you doctor.
