Dr. Gingold Offers Tips for Appendix Pain

In July, Associate Professor Dr. Dan Gingold, MD, MPH, was one of three physicians quoted in “5 Appendicitis Symptoms Doctors Say You Should Never Ignore,” an online article published by Prevention.

Dr. Gingold and his colleagues quoted in the article cautioned readers of warning signs for appendicitis—including symptoms people may not commonly connect with appendix issues, like pain when walking and coughing, gastrointestinal discomfort, frequent urination, and brain fog.

With more than 10 million monthly users, Prevention’s online audience allows Dr. Gingold to impact public health in Baltimore and beyond.
