What are the causes of Appendicitis?

Causes of appendicitis are unknown in most of the cases. There is possibility of many reasons behind the occurrence of appendicitis. According to medical professionals, an obstruction in the appendix may lead to the appendicitis. Partial and complete obstruction; both can be responsible for the occurrence of appendicitis. An accumulation of fecal matter may lead to obstruction. The other possible reasons behind the obstruction are listed below:

Tumors
Worms
Enlarged lymphoid follicles
Trauma

There are chances of multiplication of bacteria inside the organs surrounding the colon when there is obstruction in the appendix. This enhances formation of pus which puts additional pressure and it can be painful. As a result of this process, local blood vessels get compressed and there can be generation of gangrene due to lack of blood flow to appendix. A medical emergency may arise if the appendix rupture takes place and fecal matter can fill into the abdomen.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency. True or false?

True. Appendicitis is a medical emergency. If you are experiencing any symptoms you think might be appendicitis, go to an emergency department or call 911 immediately.

If you have appendicitis you will likely need emergency surgery to remove the appendix (an appendectomy).

An appendectomy reduces the chance of having a ruptured (burst) appendix. The appendix may be removed using laparoscopic surgery (a laparoscopic appendectomy), which involves smaller incisions and shorter recovery time.

In some instances of mild appendicitis, it may be treated with antibiotics alone, though the standard treatment for appendicitis remains an appendectomy.
