The NHS explains that appendicitis usually starts with a pain in the middle of your abdomen (abdomen) that can come and go.
Within hours, the pain radiated to the lower right side, where the appendix normally lies, and became constant and intense. Pressing on the area, coughing, or walking can make the pain worse.
Appendectomy has a high success rate and can now be performed using keyhole surgery. Open surgery is the preferred surgical method if the appendix has ruptured or access is more difficult.
