What are the various types of appendectomy costs in India?

Laparoscopic appendectomy	From 20,000 up to 4,50,000
Open appendectomy	From 10,000 up to 3,80,000

Laparoscopic appendectomy:

In this surgery, a small cut is made near the navel, and a port is inserted through it. Through which a cannula is inserted. The cannula fills the abdomen cavity with carbon dioxide, which creates room for surgery and allows clearer images of the stomach cavity and its contents.

The cannula is removed, and the laparoscope is inserted. This allows the surgery process to be seen on the video screen, which assists the surgeon in discovering the appendix.

Open appendectomy:

A large cut is made on the lower right side of the abdomen, which helps separate stomach muscles and locate the appendix. If the appendix ruptures, abdominal fluid or swelling needs to be drained before the surgery. Normal saline solution is used to rinse the abdominal cavity.

A common process involved in both types of appendectomy is closing the appendix with stitches, detaching it from the intestine, and then finally removing it.

According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

Dear Dr. , Good morning I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your medical advice regarding several health issues I have been experiencing recently. These symptoms are affecting my daily life, and I am concerned about their underlying causes. Below is a detailed description of the symptoms I am facing: 1. Immunity and Oxygen Problems: I have been feeling unusually fatigued and prone to frequent infections, which makes me concerned about my immune system. Additionally, I sometimes experience shortness of breath and dizziness, indicating possible issues with oxygen delivery. 2. Digestive Issues: I am suffering from constipation and bloating. My stools are irregular, and there is a persistent bad smell in my flatulence. These symptoms are accompanied by a feeling of discomfort in my stomach. 3. Body Cramps: I frequently experience cramps in various parts of my body. These cramps can be quite painful and are affecting my mobility and comfort. 4. General Malaise: There is an ongoing sense of unease and a strange feeling within my body that I cannot specifically describe. It is a general sense of not feeling well, which is concerning and distressing. 5. Throat Mucus: I often feel as though there is mucus stuck in my throat. This sensation is especially pronounced in the mornings, and drinking water or brushing my teeth can sometimes make me feel like I am going to vomit. Given the variety and persistence of these symptoms, I am worried about my overall health and well-being. I would greatly appreciate it if we could schedule an appointment to discuss these issues in detail and undergo any necessary examinations or tests to determine the root causes and appropriate treatments. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and assistance in improving my health. Sincerely, irfan Advocate Civil court Varanasi Mobile no -9454950104,7275631533

If you have been experiencing fatigue, frequent illnesses, or difficulty breathing this could mean that your immune system is weak or you have low oxygen levels. Also constipation, bloating, and smelly gas could be signs of digestive problems. Muscle cramps are not only painful but can also be very uncomfortable at times. The ‘weird’ sensation that you mentioned and any throat mucus might also be connected to overall wellness issues in your body. Therefore, you must see a medic so that they may examine you thoroughly and offer appropriate remedies for these signs.

It's possible that the wound from your radiotherapy treatment has not fully healed or that there may be other factors contributing to your symptoms. You should communicate openly with your doctor about your symptoms, concerns, and treatment history, as they will have the best understanding of your problems.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out of this pain, confusion and frustration. I am Rohan from Pune. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.And episodes of diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion(Leading Gastroentrologist in pune) . That doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) two times in a day along with Amixide h(chlorobenzodioxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain goes away completely like that problem doesn't exist.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just took those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. So I stopped using it completely since year. I want to get completely rid of these medicines and want to live normal life.

Male | 29

Gut issues can be challenging. You've successfully healed ulcers, which is great, but IBS challenges remain. IBS is common and can cause belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Often, stress or certain foods trigger it. Medications like Librax and Amixide H, prescribed by your gastroenterologist, can help manage the symptoms. However, lifestyle changes are also important. Stress relief methods, regular exercise, and a fiber-rich, healthy diet can make a significant difference.

Female | 22

I see that you’re having a hard time eating and you feel nauseous, especially after only eating a little bit. This could be why you’re experiencing these symptoms while taking a break from smoking marijuana. Common factors may be withdrawal from weed or even just feeling anxious. It is important to keep yourself hydrated and try having small frequent meals. You might want to talk to a gastroenterologist for more help with your situation.

Male | 24

Throwing up a lot can cause upper back pain when swallowing. Even if your endoscopy looked normal, other issues like muscle strain or acid reflux might be causing this discomfort. Try eating smaller portions, avoiding spicy foods, and staying upright after meals. This might help. If you’re still having trouble, see your doctor again. There might be other causes or treatments to consider.

your alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are slightly higher than normal. These levels could show liver or bone problems. It would be necessary that you see a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to conduct further investigations and therapy.

I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Female | 15

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.
