Appendicitis is a painful swelling of the appendix. The appendix is a small, thin pouch about 5 to 10cm (2 to 4 inches) long. It's connected to the large intestine, where poo forms. Appendicitis typically starts with a pain in the middle of your tummy (abdomen) that may come and go. Within hours, the pain travels to the lower right-hand side, where the appendix usually lies and becomes constant and severe. Pressing on this area, coughing or walking may make the pain worse. You may lose your appetite, feel sick and have constipation or diarrhoea. If you have appendicitis, it's likely your appendix will need to be removed as soon as possible. Removal of the appendix, known as an appendicectomy or appendectomy, is 1 of the most common operations and its success rate is excellent. It's most commonly carried out as keyhole surgery (laparoscopy).
