You are strongly advised to immediately see your doctor if you are experiencing serious swelling or abdominal pains. Appendix is a vestigial organ and was said to be useless. However, when it’s inflamed or infected, it can lead to blood poisoning or septicaemia and can result to death when not removed immediately. It’s practically useless to have it in the body, yet, it can cause deep trouble when inflamed.
I already lost a friend from it as nobody in his family knew what really was the problem that caused severe pain in his abdomen. You know how it’s like to be in a rural area — the lack of medical experts and the necessary facilities. That medical condition is called appendicitis which is an inflammation of the vermiform appendix. The appendix is located at the base of our large intestine which is very close to our caecum just in the right iliac fossa region.
