Has a member of your family ever experienced appendicitis? Is your child prone to frequent stomach aches? Did you ever take your child to a hospital to ensure that it was not serious?

I think it would be better if you could remove the appendix before it becomes inflamed. This option makes more sense. If someone in your family has already had appendicitis, wouldn't it be better to remove your appendix as well. After all, why wait till it gets inflamed and then bursts. It can cause risk to life if appendicitis is not treated on time. It is very important to get it treated properly as it can rupture and cause many health problems. It is therefore necessary to do a regular health check up and find out whether we are facing any serious disorder or not.

My husband faced it

Last year, my husband suddenly started getting pain in his abdomen. When we took him to hospital, the doctors initially said he had hernia. This is because my husband goes to the gym. However, when he was operated, the doctors found that he had appendicitis instead. Most of the times appendicitis is misdiagnosed and lots of problems are created due to that. So it is important to make sure that we find proper cause of each and every problem related to health. It will help to avoid health dangers in future.

What is the actual purpose of the appendix? I know of some people who have had their appendix removed and live perfectly healthy lives after that. Why does the appendix still exist if it is no use? I do not understand this process of life is so complicated. Some things in our body are so unimportant but however they still exist. And it is very difficult to cope if some problem exists in such organs. One of such organs is appendix. It is very scaring to know the fact that appendicitis can even cause death.

wisdom tooth pain is horrible
I got wisdom tooth when I was in second year of my junior college. It was a very painful experience. The right end of my jaw was swollen so much that I could not close my mouth.

I have three wisdom teeth
My first wisdom tooth was very painful but the other two are not very. I did not even realise when I got the other two. I have observed that the second and third wisdom teeth erupted in the upper jaw. The growth of these teeth was also slow. Even in three years their growth is not complete.
