Health Medical Information

You could die if it ruptures. I would get it checked out ASAP.

Please go to the hospital – it can burst, you will be in hospital then whether or not you like it

It may go away but is more likely to burst and cause potentially fatal infection. Don’t even think about not going to the hospital.

Your appendix could burst and you could die. Go to the hospital to avoid death.

death can and most likely will occur if you ignore appendicitis.

if you press against the area and it hurts more and it has been hurting for several hours, i would go to the dr. it was a moderate dull pain for me.

they checked my white blood cell count and that plus the area of pain was how they knew

i started having pain around 2 AM. I went to hospital at 5 AM. The surgeon told me he had to get my appendix out within 6 hours. it was out by 2 PM that day.

Your appendix beings to swell, and then it bursts. The appendix is used to filter out toxins from the body, so when it bursts, the toxins contained within leak into your system. They get into your blood stream, and they KILL you. Even if they don’t, the recovery time from a burst appendix is a lot longer (months) and a lot more painful than an appendectomy alone (weeks).

You need to get to the hospital. This is an Emergency room situation. No, seriously. Stop staring at Answers and GO!

If it bursts, then that creates a direct path for all the bacteria in your intestines into rest of your body. Youll get a terrible infection and die. Go to the hospital. Even if you dont have insurance, do it. My brother didnt have insurance, and they took care of him.

It could be just cysts on your ovaries, like my doctor told me..Told me to take some Advil…The pain got so bad I had to be taken to the hospital and have an Immediate appendectomy….I couldn’t even hardly stand to get to the car. GO get it checked..I heard if it ruptures you can die….GOOD LUCK! needless to say I don’t have that guy for a Dr. anymore! but I didn’t go see him it was a phone call ..but still….It could be serious or just something not so serious…

It could become a ‘burst appendix’, then you could continue to avoid the hospital, unless the morgue’s downstairs.
(And it usually IS.)
So just that one visit, then, I guess.
Septic peritonitis prolly hurts a whole lot, though.
So kindly reconsider, huh?

you will die for sure if it ruptures itself inside your abdomen. You said you have symptoms, which side of your abdomen you have pain?
