What is the Purpose of Sending Appendix to Lab After Appendectomy?
why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

I am 20 yrs old I have eat yesterday pink cotton candy and my pee came in pink colour can uh suggest me what is the reason?
Female | 20
If you consumed pink cotton candy and your urine turned pink, it is likely that the food coloring is responsible for the color change. Many artificially colored foods, including cotton candy, can cause temporary changes in urine color. This effect is harmless and usually resolves once the food has been processed by your body.
