What is appendicitis b?

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small, tube-like structure attached to the large intestine. It typically occurs when the appendix becomes blocked, leading to infection and inflammation. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. If left untreated, appendicitis can result in serious complications, such as a ruptured appendix, which requires immediate medical attention.
