What are the danger of having apendix?

Peritonitis: Appendix rupture can lead to peritonitis, a serious infection of the abdominal cavity. This can cause severe pain, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Peritonitis can be fatal if not treated promptly.

Sepsis: If peritonitis is not treated, it can lead to sepsis, a systemic infection that can damage organs and tissues throughout the body. Sepsis can be fatal even with treatment.

Bowel obstruction: Appendix rupture can sometimes cause bowel obstruction, which occurs when the contents of the bowel cannot pass through normally. This can cause abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and vomiting. Bowel obstruction can be serious and may require surgery.

Abscess formation: Appendix rupture can also lead to the formation of an abscess, a collection of pus in the abdomen. Abscesses can cause pain, fever, and chills. They may require drainage or surgical removal.

Other complications: Appendix rupture can also lead to other complications, such as:

* Fistula formation, which is an abnormal connection between two organs or body cavities

* Infertility in women

* Chronic pain syndrome
