What then causes appendicitis?

Symptoms of appendicitis

Appendicitis causes a variety of symptoms, including:

?abdominal pains
?low fever
?nausea
?vomiting
?loss of appetite
?constipation
?diarrhea
?difficulty passing gas

Not all people will have the same symptoms, but it’s crucial that you see a doctor as quickly as possible.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the appendix can rupture (burst) as quickly as 48 to 72 hours after the onset of symptoms. A ruptured appendix can kill because it allows fecal matter to enter the peritoneal cavity .

Go to the hospital immediately if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms.

?Abdominal pain

Appendicitis usually involves a gradual onset of dull, cramping, or aching pain throughout the abdomen.

As the appendix becomes more swollen and inflamed, it will irritate the lining of the abdominal wall, known as the peritoneum…..this is known as peritonitis.
