Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Patients with chronic appendicitis can engage in physical exercise, but the amount of exercise should be determined according to their individual physical condition. Overexertion and vigorous activities are not recommended, as they may lead to fatigue and a decrease in immunity. Chronic appendicitis is prone to recurrent episodes, and repeated flare-ups can easily cause abdominal adhesions. At the same time, it's important to maintain good daily dietary habits.
