Various theories of the development of such a disease as appendicitis are known. The causes of each individual patient may be different. But all of them, one way or another, have the same origins.
The main cause of appendicitis is the clogging of the lumen of the appendix. Most often there is a blockage of calves, geltimins, tumors, foreign bodies, such as small bones, husks, small solid objects.
Appendicitis can occur as a result of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms. Various bacteria and viruses cause inflammation in the process of the cecum. Usually microorganisms can not get into the body of the shoot. They are not allowed to do this by an obstruction in the form of the mucosa of the appendix.
But if this barrier collapses, the protective function weakens, and the level of pathogenicity of the microbial environment increases significantly. This is due to the fact that the walls of the appendage are stretched, the immune activity changes. Inflammation develops very rapidly.
In the lumen of the appendix produces white and pink pus. Due to the increase in intraluminal pressure, the appendix breaks, and all pus with a large number of bacteria enters the abdominal cavity.
Appendicitis can also cause insufficient amounts of dietary fiber, on the basis of which the formation of the contents of the intestines is formed. Often, the disease begins because of poor nutrition, excessive amounts of protein foods, which leads to a change in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Rarely, but still there is development of appendicitis due to getting a stomach injury. Endocrine causes and vascular are also isolated. The first arise from the fact that the cells of the epithelium of the process begin to secrete more serotonin, which becomes the conductor of the inflammatory process.
The main factor in the development of appendicitis for a vascular reason are systemic vasculitis. To trigger the development of appendicitis can tuberculosis, typhoid fever and amebiasis .
All these factors cause the development of not only normal appendicitis, but, in most cases, acute or chronic. With the development of medicine, scientists deduce more and more causes of appendicitis, but they are not widely spread and are more ramifications from underlying causes.
