Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, which covers and supports the majority of the abdominal organs and lines the inner wall of the abdomen. Peritonitis is typically brought on by bacterial or fungal infection.
Symptoms of Peritonitis
- Poor appetite
- Nausea
- dull stomach ache that quickly worsens with movement into a severe, persistent stomach ache.
- Abdominal tenderness or distention
- Chills
- Fever
- Fluid in the abdomen
- not urinating at all, or urinating significantly less frequently than usual
- Having trouble going to the bathroom or passing gas
- Vomiting
Causes of Peritonitis
- When an infection spreads to the peritoneum, it is called spontaneous peritonitis.
- An injury or infection to the abdominal cavity can cause secondary peritonitis, which is an infection of the peritoneum caused by infectious agents.
- Peritonitis poses a serious risk to life in both forms.
Secondary peritonitis frequently results from the following:
- stomach ulcer, diverticulum, or ruptured appendix
- gastrointestinal conditions like diverticulitis and Crohn’s disease
- Pancreatitis
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- the appendix, gallbladder, stomach, intestine, or bowel perforations
- Surgery
- abdomen-related injuries, such as those caused by knives or gunshots
Inflammators like bile, blood, or foreign objects in the abdomen like barium are examples of non-infectious causes of peritonitis.
RISK FACTORS
For spontaneous peritonitis, the following are the most typical risk factors:
Liver disease with cirrhosis.
- Infection inside the abdomen
- gastrointestinal, biliary, or pancreatic inflammation
- abdominal wall penetration, such as that caused by a knife or gunshot.
- Peptic ulcer
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Ectopic pregnancy rupture
- Recent abdominal surgery
- Bowel obstruction
- Advanced liver disease
- Tuberculosis
- Hernia
- Ovarian cyst or abscess.
