Appendicitis occurs as a result of inflammation in your appendix. If left unchecked, it can lead to a rupture of your appendix, causing bacteria to spill into your abdominal cavity, which can be fatal. Always contact your doctor right away if you experience symptoms of appendicitis. It’s a serious condition that requires medical treatment. #ApolloHospitals #AskApollo | Apollo Hospitals
