Appendicitis causes article

The appendix is a narrow tubular pouch attached to the intestines. Appendicitis causes include one or more of these two factors: a difficulty within the appendix, an abnormal change in tissue accompanied by the death of cells within appendix and the attack of bacteria. Untreated, mortality is high, mainly because of the risk of rupture leading to peritonitis and shock.
The body responds to the invasion by mounting an attack on the bacteria, an attack called inflammation. Appendicitis is an emergency, because the appendix could rupture. The surgeon’s goals are to evaluate a relatively small population of patients referred for suspected appendicitis and to minimize the negative appendectomy rate without increasing the incidence of perforation. Usually, the first symptom is a bellyache around the belly button.
