I had an appendix surgery a couple years back and now that we are planning a baby my mind keeps going to it. Will it cause any issue during pregnancy or delivery? Just want to be prepared, anyone with similar history?
If you already had your appendix removed before, it won't affect your pregnancy at all. But if you are experiencing sharp, severe pain on the lower right side of your stomach right now, don't wait even a minute. Go straight to the hospital as appendicitis during pregnancy needs immediate medical attention.
I had my appendix removed a few years ago and was also worried if it would cause issues when we try to conceive. My gynecologist gently reassured me that old surgeries don't affect pregnancy. But if you have pain now, please check with your doctor.
I actually had acute appendicitis during my second trimester and had to undergo a safe surgery to remove it. My doctors handled it so well and my baby was born completely healthy. Please go straight to your gynac if you suspect any appendix pain.
An old appendix removal has zero impact on pregnancy. However, if you are suspecting active appendicitis right now, please understand it is a medical emergency that requires diagnostic scans and immediate gynecological supervision. Don't self-medicate.
Unless your appendix is currently trying to burst, a past surgery won't affect your baby at all. But if you are having severe stomach pain, please don't write a post here—call your doctor immediately. Trust me, pregnancy has enough dramas without adding emergency surgery to it!
Agar pehle operation ho chuka hai, toh koi problem nahi hogi, haan. Par agar abhi pregnancy mein right side mein tez dard ho raha hai, toh laparwahi mat karna, na. Turant doctor ko dikhao kyunki ye emergency ho sakti hai.
