What Could A Growth That Has Blood Flow And Gets Twisted Be When It Feels Like Appendicitis?
My daughter went to the hospital thinking she was having an appendicitis. She was told it was a growth with blood flow and had twisted. They said it was common and just imflamation. I think she needs a second opinion. But don’t want to stress her out either.

Hi,
If you are concerned about your daughter's diagnosis and would like a second opinion, it is important to discuss your concerns with her healthcare provider. It is always better to be safe than sorry, and seeking a second opinion is a common practice in the medical field. You can talk to your daughter's doctor and ask them to explain the diagnosis in more detail and what the next steps should be. If they recommend additional testing or evaluation, you can ask for a referral to a specialist who can provide a second opinion.
It is important to communicate your concerns with your daughter while also being supportive and reassuring. Let her know that you are looking out for her best interests and want to make sure she receives the best possible care. Encourage her to ask questions and be involved in her healthcare decisions.
Remember that healthcare providers have a duty to provide accurate and complete information about a patient's condition, and they should be open to answering any questions you may have. If you are still unsure about the diagnosis or treatment plan, don't hesitate to seek additional opinions or resources.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
