Question

Which abdominal region would be painful if a person has

appendicitis?

right hypochondriac region

left inguinal region

right lower region

right inguinal region

Answer 1

If a person has appendicitis then he will have pain in :-

(c) Right lower region.

​​​​​​Appendicitis pain occurs in the lower region of the abdomen on the right side.

Since the appendix is located on the right side so acute appendicitis will pain on the right side. Option (b) is incorrect.

Hypochondriac region is the upper region of the abdomen where pain occur due to Hepatitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, liver abscess so this option is also incorrect.

Then inguinal region or groin area will be painful in case of inguinal hernias, bone fractures, muscle strain etc. but not due to appendicitis. So this is also incorrect.

Thus the correct answer is (C) right lower region.
