7. What Health Complications Can Occur from Chronic Appendicitis?
Appendicitis can turn into a serious condition when not treated with proper care. The infection that causes the appendix to swell can also cause it to fill with pus and may even lead to a bursting or ruptured appendix if left untreated.
Health complications that can result from an infected appendix include an extreme infection called sepsis or abscess, which is a pocket of infection. While these complications can be very unpleasant, they are often avoidable through proper care.
