What Is The Treatment For Enlarged And Abnormal Appendix?
I was in Wisconsin over the weekend with family. I live in Minnesota. Sunday morning I got very sick and had pain in my lower right abdomen, very severe pain. They took me to a hospital. They ran a ct scan with contrast and it shows a abnormal appendix and enlarged. They told me to get back to Minnesota and see a doctor here. I m so sick and I m not sure what to do? I just don t want to waste time if it s something that will get better with rest and time.

hello,
as you say it is causing severe pain, you may be suffering from acute appendicitis. get a check up done with a surgeon. he will definitely diagnose the condition. if it causing continuous problems, the option left will be getting an appendicectomy (removing the appendix) done. it is a usual procedure and you dont have to worry about it.
