What is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is when the appendix becomes inflamed.
The appendix is located in the lower right abdomen.
It is attached to the large intestine and has no known function.
What is the treatment?
The best way to treat appendicitis is through surgery.
The appendix must be removed before it becomes so inflamed that it bursts.
The procedure involves opening the area, removing the appendix, and then closing it again.
It's a simple operation, and thanks to anesthesia, you won't feel anything!
And remember, always ask your doctor!
