How do you get appendicitis?

JoshCaleb12

Most of the time, the appendix does not cause problems. Occasionally, however, it gets blocked by bacteria and becomes swollen and infected. http://my.webmd.com/hw/appendicitis/hw64454.asp Sep 04 05, 3:37 PM

Appendicitis is inflamation of the appendix which is a portion of the large intestine. The real purpose of the appendix has been in question and no answer has really been concluded. It is a portion of the bowel that we can live without without causing problems other than it becoming infected and if it ruptures sets up gangrene in which a person is very ill and can die. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/digestive-diseases-appendicitis [Added reference link - McG] Apr 16 09, 6:05 AM
