What is appendicitis? What causes it?

Appendicitis the inflammation and swelling of the appendix, a small tube like structure protruding from the large intestine. It occurs when the appendix gets blocked with stool or foreign particles passing through the intestine. Blockage may cause infection which results in painful swelling of the appendix. ‘If left alone, the appendix does not cause any problems,’ says Dr Ajit Kukreja, Laproscopic GI and Colorectal Surgeon.
