Appendicitis – means inflammation of the appendix. The appendix is a small organ in the right lower part of the tummy attached to the starting point of the large intestine (caecum).

If not done at an appropriate time, the appendix can get deprived of its blood supply and form pus inside.
Simple infection can turn into life-threatening complications in no time, so early examination by a doctor is crucial.
Common symptoms of appendicitis are:
- Pain in the right lower abdomen (Can start near navel and shift or spread later)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fever – may be low grade initially and may get worsen later.
- But all these symptoms may not be present and others may be present.
- Hence examination by your doctor is very crucial to diagnose or rule out appendicitis.
- It usually occurs in teenage but no age is immune. Chances of complications are higher is very young children & the elderly.
- In pregnant patients, pain may be felt higher as the appendix may shift to a higher position as pregnancy advances.
- Since the appendix is a relatively mobile organ, the location of pain may vary depending upon its position in a given person.
Causes:
The exact cause can not be found in most cases but the usual underlying cause is blockage of the lumen of the appendix which causes infection by bacteria. The pressure inside the appendix increases and it begins to swell leading to pain. If not treated on time, pus can form inside the appendix and later appendix may rupture leading to the spread of pus.
Complications:
- Pus formation – Pus may form inside the appendix and later may rupture the appendix and leak to the surrounding area. It may remain close to the appendix only and will require surgery to remove the pus. Surrounding organs like small and large intestine etc. get stuck with this pus pocket making surgery difficult.
- Peritonitis – Rupture of the appendix may lead to generalized infection of abdomen known as peritonitis. This is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate surgery.
