Appendicitis Conditions and Diseases Health

Appendicitis is when the appendix, a small pouch attached to the beginning of the large intestine, becomes blocked and gets infected. Doctors use blood tests, x-rays, and a CT scan to check the appendix. Surgery to remove the appendix is the only treatment. If it isn't removed, the appendix can burst. This causes the infection to spread through the abdomen and can even cause death.
