Appendicitis is a condition where the appendix, a small pouch located in the lower right abdomen, becomes swollen and irritated. This swelling can happen because something is blocking it, like hardened stool or infection. Symptoms of appendicitis typically include abdominal pain that starts around the belly button and then moves to the lower right side, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fever. The pain may worsen with movement, coughing, or sneezing. If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to complications such as a burst appendix, which can be life-threatening. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the swollen appendix, known as an appendectomy. In some cases, antibiotics may be given before surgery to reduce the risk of infection. Quick medical attention is crucial to prevent complications and ensure a full recovery.
