What’s it called when the appendix gets inflamed?
Explanation
Appendicitis happens when your appendix becomes inflamed, often causing sharp pain. If not treated quickly, the appendix can burst and lead to serious health issues. The appendix is a small tube attached to your large intestine, and even though it’s not fully understood, it can still cause major trouble when it gets infected.
