APPENDIX
What Is The Main Reason For Appendix ?
The appendix is a thin tube that is joined to the large intestine. It sits in the lower right part of your belly (abdomen). When you are a young child, your appendix is a working part of your immune system, which helps your body to fight disease
The appendix is a small, thin pouch about 5 to 10cm (2 to 4 inches) long. It's connected to the large intestine, where poo forms. Nobody knows exactly what the appendix does, but removing it is not harmful.
What Does Appendix Pain Feel Like ?
Appendicitis typically starts with a pain in the middle of your tummy (abdomen) that may come and go. Within hours, the pain travels to your lower right-hand side, where the appendix is usually located, and becomes constant and severe. Pressing on this area, coughing or walking may make the pain worse.
What Is Treatment ?
The treatment of appendix involves surgical removal, known as an appendectomy. It's commonly performed in cases of appendicitis, an inflamed appendix. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications. Appendectomy is typically done using minimally invasive techniques or open surgery, depending on the severity and individual circumstances.
