to its other sections is called Appendicitis. It causes
unbearable pain in the lower right abdominal area is
experienced when sever tenderness takes place since by that
time appendix gets filled with pus. Such condition may lead
to gangrene or burst due to infection spreading through the
appendix wall, hence appendicitis is treated as an emergency
medical condition.

experienced which initiates from around the navel and
heading downwards to lower right side and it turns worse
when movement or touch of that specific area is involved.
