What is Appendicitis Pain?

Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed and infected. It usually causes sudden and severe pain in the lower right side of the abdomen and requires urgent medical treatment.

Typical symptoms of appendicitis include:

Pain starting near the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
Worsening pain over a short period
Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite

If not treated promptly, the appendix can rupture, leading to serious infections. Therefore, surgical removal of the appendix is the standard and safest treatment.
