How will Dr decide if appendix needs to be removed?

A doctor will decide if the appendix needs to be removed based on a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Key indicators include severe abdominal pain, particularly in the lower right quadrant, fever, nausea, and elevated white blood cell count. Imaging tests like an ultrasound or CT scan may also be utilized to confirm appendicitis. If appendicitis is diagnosed, surgical removal (appendectomy) is typically recommended to prevent complications.
