I just saw this contest this morning and I decided to partake in it because I am in the best position to tell you about Appendix because I have experienced it. I hope I'm not late on this🙏🙏
WHAT IS APPENDIX
Appendix is a pouch growth attached to the end of the large intestine, it's usually a finger shaped 8-10cm long and 1.3cm wide with a muscular wall which helps it to expell cecum, so if it's blocked by any substance appendicitis may occur.
LOCATION OF APPENDIX
Appendix is located at the lower right hand side of the abdomen which often causes pain in the lower right side of the abdomen, in some cases the pain doesn't start from the exact location of the appendix but below your navel at the belly bottom, then it gradually increase and moves to the the exact location of the appendix.
HAVE I EVER SUFFERED APPENDIX (YES)
Yes I have, October 14th 2011, I had an operation on appendix, the experience was not funny. Around 2008/2009 I really suffered several pain from this appendix without knowing what it was because I was leaving with someone as a house girl, I suffered so much pain, vomiting and I even lost appetite to food, I started selecting food and I barely eat food.
By 2009 the vomiting became too much that I vomit anywhere and everywhere even on the road, in the car. At night I don't sleep because I vomit all through the night, if I go to school I'm always having troubles with my stomach. I hardly eat what others are eating I selected almost everything.
2010 I started vomiting blood whenever I vomits and it was consistent but it was concluded that I had cold stomach that's why I'm always throwing up everything. This conclusion was drawn without medication verification, I wasn't taken to the hospital to be examined. So I resulted to eating pepprish foods, eating hot foods, drinking warm water even though the weather is very hot I will still drink warm water. And It was helpful and it sustained me till 2011.
Around august 2011 nothing could control the pain and the vomiting anymore, not even the hot food, pepprish food or warm water, and drinking of hot coke or Pepsi since it has a lot of gas. Sometimes I will go get drugs from a chemist shop and take and I will be relieved for that day. Till September that year it was uncontrollable that my sister had to run a pregnancy test on me because I was already back the place I was as a house girl.
The pregnancy test came out negative, then she and my mum decided to take me for check in a hospital, that was when the doctor discovered that it was appendix and it was very due for operation that is why the disturbance was much but the was no money for immediate operation, so he game me some drugs that will sustain me for a week after which I was operated of appendix. One week later I was discharged and here I am today, I can eat everything that I don't eat before.
That was an experience I won't forget in a hurry, I almost died vomiting blood everyday. Thank God I left and came back home after my senior Waec if not they wouldn't have found out what was wrong with me and I would have died of negligence.
