What symptom can appendicitis attack have?

Abdominal pain is typical of acute appendicitis. At the beginning, there is pain in the middle and upper abdomen or around the umbilicus. A few hours later, the pain is transferred and fixed in the right lower abdomen. When the inflammation spread to the serosa and parietal peritoneum, the pain was fixed in the right lower abdomen, and the pain in the original middle upper abdomen or periumbilical was alleviated or disappeared. Therefore, no typical history of metastatic right lower abdominal pain can not exclude acute appendicitis.

Simple appendicitis often presents paroxysmal or persistent distending pain and dull pain. Persistent severe pain often indicates suppurative or gangrenous appendicitis. Persistent severe pain affects the middle and lower abdomen or both sides of the lower abdomen, which is often a sign of gangrene and perforation of the appendix.
