What Causes Appendicitis? Dr Amita Jain Explains

Appendicitis is a painful condition when the appendix gets inflamed because of the pus that gets filled inside it. The pain generally begins with cramps in the upper abdomen area and can become chronic to life-threatening. At times, the patient may also experience pain in the lower part of the abdomen region.

An appendix is a 4-inches long pouch of storage for the good bacteria that supports the body’s fight against infection, but it is still not clear what exact function the appendix does.
