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.

Hy maam , Iam facing serious issue please contact with mee thanks alot
Female | 24
Life is no crystal staircase, but "stairs" rose out of hardships often from previously denied histories. A wide range of health problems can come up such as headache, weakness, or discomfort which can be due to stress, bad sleep, or deficiency of one kind of nutrient or other. The essential thing is to address them using maintaining a suitable diet regime, consuming enough water, and practicing physical activities regularly. It, however, should not only be the only thing you know about the health condition and its treatment; you should also tell your family doctor frankly what you are going through for your doctor to be able to assess your situation accurately and to offer the best advice.

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.

It looks like you have a nasal fracture or a deviated septum. I suggest that you see an ENT specialist for a complete evaluation. They can assess the degree of the injury and administer the right treatment. It is vital that we do not ignore any nose injury as it may result in long term complications if left untreated.

I'm little concerned about exposure to pure toluene. I think I accidentally inhaled toluene vapours while working with it on solvents. Although nothing seems to be affected, but what precautionary measure should I take now? I don't huff toluene or inhale intentionally for addiction. But, I work with toluene as an artist to restore damaged brushes or wipe of paints
Male | 31
Toluene exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and lightheadedness. Move to a well-ventilated area when using it and wear a protective mask. If you feel unwell, go outside for fresh air immediately.
