Do I need my appendix removed?

Question

A couple of days ago, my lower right side of my stomach had a piercing pain, and anytime i moved, it hurt worse. I thought i might need my appendix removed, but i don't have any of the other symptoms. So how do i know if i do need it removed?

Answer 1

those symptoms sound like appendicitis, you should see a doctor

Answer 2

GO to the doctor, if the pain has lasted as long as you say it had appendicitis is most likely the cause.  are u a guy or girl?

Answer 3

Well no one here can guess about a medical condition so you really need to be seen by a doctor or clinic right away.  It may be nothing but it may be a potential problem, so the sooner you have it looked at , the sooner you can be pain free and have nothing to worry about.  Sometimes the worrying is the worst part.

Answer 4

LOL  You turn off your computer and go to a doctor!!!  You'd trust whatever anyone writes here??? really???

Here are a few links to professsional medical sites that are free .  Good luck

Answer 5

Don't rely just on symptoms but do get advise from your doctor.Appendicitis can post denger if no immediate action.

Answer 6

try to press your your lower right abdomen (the anatomic location of the appendix) and if you have agonizing pain - the problem is your appendix. If there's no pain it is ok, no need to go to the doctor.
