How To Treat Appendicitis?
I started with my period on Thursday after months without because of the birth control pills. (Because of hard training I skipped it). It chose to have my pill free week since my boyfriend is on vacation. On my period, I had a lot of pain (still have), it was hard to walk, wasn't up for food, and was also very nausea.. Now I'm finished after four and a half day which is very normal, but it still hurts a lot! And specially on my right side. So, I read on the internet about appendicitis, since I have a lot of the syntomps. Also afraid I can be pregnant, but I had my period,and also use birth control pills. Can it also be that I just waited to long with the period. Maybe more than my body could handle? Since the period started the same day as I started the non pill week?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Appendicitis is an urgent condition. It is not an issue which can last weeks or months. Without treatment patients either die or get heal by theirs own. So even if the symptoms are similar to the appendicitis, I dont think this is your issue.
Pregnancy or ovarian cyst is much more possible. Urinary tract infection or inguinal hernia should be also considered.
Please visit your doctor, have urine analysis, pregnancy test, blood work and abdominal ultrasound. Gynecologist should be also visited and transvaginal ultrasound done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
