Inflammation of the appendix (appendicitis) is a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and filled with pus.
The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch contained in the large intestine in the lower right side of the abdomen. This small organ has no known function.
Appendicitis causes pain that usually starts around the navel and then shifts to the lower right abdomen. This pain is slowly getting worse and can be very painful.
Appendicitis can affect anyone, but is most common in people between the ages of 10 to 30 years.
Treatment of appendicitis usually involves surgical removal of the appendix.

The cause of appendicitis

The cause of appendicitis is not fully known. Often, this condition is caused by:

• Stoppage

Waste food or a piece of hard stools can block the appendix, causing inflammation.

• Infection

Appendicitis can also be caused by infections, such as gastrointestinal viral infection.

In both cases, the bacteria in the appendix to multiply rapidly, causing the appendix is inflamed, swollen, and filled with pus. If not treated immediately, the appendix can rupture.

Complication

Appendicitis can cause serious complications, such as:

If broken, the contents of the appendix filled with pathogenic organisms can spill into the abdominal cavity, causing an infection of the abdominal cavity (peritonitis).
