UK - The Appendix is a 3.5 inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. The appendix has no known function. One theory is that the appendix acts as a store for good bacteria, “rebooting” the digestive system after diarrhoea.

The main sign of appendicitis is pain, which usually starts in the middle of the abdomen and initially may come and go but within hours becomes constant and severe and moves towards the lower right side over the appendix. Pressing on this area, coughing, moving or walking may all make the pain worse.
