Causes and Warning Signs of Appendicitis

Appendicitis is commonly caused by a blockage in the appendix due to stool, infection, or foreign substances. This leads to swelling, bacterial overgrowth, and eventual inflammation. Typical signs include:

  • Intense abdominal pain on the lower right side
  • Nausea, vomiting, or lack of hunger
  • Fever, bloating, and tenderness
  • Pain that worsens with walking, coughing, or movement

If not treated quickly, appendicitis can progress to peritonitis or form an abscess, both of which require emergency intervention.
