What is Appendicitis? <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
Appendicitis is inflammation of your appendix. Your appendix is a small pouch attached to your large intestine, located in the lower right side of your abdomen. Appendicitis often feels like mild abdominal pain that gradually intensifies within 24 hours of onset. The pain often begins in the center of your abdomen and travels to the lower right. You are most likely to experience appendicitis if you are between the ages of 15 and 30, but it can occur at any age. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
Appendicitis can be dangerous if it is not treated. Your appendix can burst, and lead to a potentially fatal infection in the abdomen. Bursting usually occurs within the first 48-72 hours after you start to experience symptoms. If you are experiencing severe pain in your abdomen and you think it could be appendicitis, contact your local emergency healthcare provider. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
