Usted o un ser querido tiene apendicitis. Esto sucede cuando el apéndice se inflama o se infecta. El apéndice es una pequeña bolsa que cuelga del colon o intestino grueso. No se conoce su propósito exacto. Pero cuando se infecta, el apéndice puede perforarse y soltar bacterias en el abdomen. Esto puede causar problemas de salud graves.
