What is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is a medical emergency in which the appendix a small pouch attached to the large intestine becomes inflamed and infected. If not treated promptly, the appendix can rupture, leading to the spread of infection within the abdomen, which may become life-threatening. Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain requiring emergency surgery.
Common symptoms include:
- Sudden pain starting near the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
- Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or walking
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Mild fever
The definitive treatment for appendicitis is an appendectomy, which involves surgical removal of the appendix to eliminate infection and prevent rupture.
